康熙字典文字版 【寅集下】【弓字部】弟
〔古文〕𠂖𢦢【廣韻】徒禮切【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】待禮切，𠀤第上聲。【說文】朿韋之次第也。【釋名】弟，第也，相次第而上也。【廣韻】今爲兄弟字。【爾雅·釋親】男子先生爲兄，後生爲弟。【書·君𨻰】惟孝友于兄弟。　又與悌通。【廣雅】弟，順也，言順於兄。【禮·曲禮】僚友稱其弟也。　又易也。【廣韻】愷悌，一作豈弟。【詩·齊風】齊子豈弟。【傳】豈，樂也。弟，易也。　又【廣韻】特計切【集韻】【韻會】【正韻】大計切，𠀤音第。義同。◎按《集韻》以兄弟、豈弟之弟爲上聲，孝弟之弟爲去聲，據《廣韻》薺、霽二韻，弟俱訓兄弟，霽韻悌訓孝悌，又上聲。宋禮部韻，悌訓愷悌，上去二聲通押。則兄弟、豈弟、孝弟，俱可通用上去二聲也。
