What is the meaning of the word "Anwat" mentioned in the Hadith of Abu Waqid Al-Laythi when "Dhat Anwat" is mentioned?

The hadith of "Dhat Anwat" is mentioned in Imam Ahmad's Musnad and Tirmidhi's Sunan. It revolves around the request of the Companions, who were new to Islam after having recently left disbelief, asking the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, to designate a tree for them to seek blessings from, just as the disbelievers had "Dhat Anwat." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, condemned their request and likened their statement to the words of the people of Moses: "Make for us a god just as they have gods." He also mentioned that they would follow the ways of the nations who came before them. The hadith teaches us to beware of shirk (polytheism) and seeking blessings from trees and stones. It also clarifies that what matters are the meanings, not just the words, and prohibits imitating the people of pre-Islamic ignorance. Furthermore, it shows that one who abandons falsehood is not safe from the remnants of their former habits.
