Its root in the classical dictionaries

الهداية دلالة بلطف، ومنه: الهدية، وهوادي الوحش. أي: متقدماتها الهادية لغيرها، وخص ما كان دلالة بهديت، وما كان إعطاء بأهديت.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿أولئك على هدى من ربهم﴾ [البقرة:5] يطلق ويراد به الدعاء، كقوله: ﴿ولكل قوم هاد﴾ [الرعد:7] أي داع. ويراد به الدلالة كقوله تعالى: ﴿أهدانا الصراط المستقيم﴾ [الفاتحة:6] أي دلنا إليه وأرشدنا إليه. وهوادي الخيل: متقدمها، وكذلك الهاديات. ومنه قول امرئ القيس: [من الطويل]
