Its root in the classical dictionaries

الود: محبة الشيء، وتمني كونه، ويستعمل في كل واحد من المعنيين على أن التمني يتضمن معنى الود، لأن التمني هو تشهي حصول ما توده، وقوله تعالى: وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الواو والدال: كلمة تدل على محبة. وددته: أحببته. ووددت أن ذاك كان، إذا تمنيته، أود فيهما جميعا. وفي المحبة الود، وفي التمني الودادة. وهو وديد فلان، أي يحبه.
