PREFACE

(By Professor Skeat.)


The present work is intended to meet, in some measure, the requirements
of those who wish to make some study of Middle-English, and who find a
difficulty in obtaining such assistance as will enable them to find out
the meanings and etymologies of the words most essential to their
purpose.

The best Middle-English Dictionary, that by Dr. Mätzner of Berlin, has
only reached the end of the letter H; and it is probable that it will
not be completed for many years. The only Middle-English Dictionary
that has been carried on to the end of the alphabet is that by the late
Dr. Stratmann, of Krefeld. This is a valuable work, and is
indispensable for the more advanced student. However, the present work
will still supply a deficiency, as it differs from Stratmann’s
Dictionary in many particulars. We have chosen as our Main Words, where
possible, the most typical of the forms or spellings of the period of
Chaucer and Piers Plowman; in Stratmann, on the other hand, the form
chosen as Main Word is generally the oldest form in which it appears,
frequently one of the twelfth century. Moreover, with regard to
authorities, we refer in the case of the great majority of our forms to
a few, cheap, easily accessible works, whereas Stratmann’s authorities
are mainly the numerous and expensive publications of the Early English
Text Society. Lastly, we have paid special attention to the French
element in Middle-English, whereas Stratmann is somewhat deficient in
respect of words of French origin1. The book which has generally been
found of most assistance to the learner is probably Halliwell’s
Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words; but this is not specially
confined to the Middle-English period, and the plan of it differs in
several respects from that of the present work.

The scope of this volume will be best understood by an explanation of
the circumstances that gave rise to it. Some useful and comparatively
inexpensive volumes illustrative of the Middle-English period have been
issued by the Clarendon Press; all of which are furnished with
glossaries, explaining all the important words, with exact references
to the passages wherein the words occur. In particular, the three
useful hand-books containing Specimens of English (from 1150 down to
1580) together supply no less than sixty-seven characteristic extracts
from the most important literary monuments of this period; and the
three glossaries to these books together fill more than 370 pages of
closely-printed type in double columns. The idea suggested itself that
it would be highly desirable to bring the very useful information thus
already collected _under one alphabet_, and this has now been effected.
At the same time, a reference has in every case been carefully given to
the _particular_ Glossarial Index which registers each form here cited,
so that it is perfectly easy for any one who consults our book to
refer, not merely to the particular Index thus noted, but to the
references given in that Index; and so, by means of such references, to
find every passage referred to, with its proper context. Moreover the
student only requires, for this purpose, a small array of the
text-books in the Clarendon Press Series, instead of a more or less
complete set of editions of Middle-English texts, the possession of
which necessitates a considerable outlay of money. By this plan, so
great a _compression_ of information has been achieved, that a large
number of the articles give a summary such as can be readily expanded
to a considerable length, by the exercise of a very little trouble; and
thus the work is practically as full of material as if it had been
three or four times its present size. A couple of examples will shew
what this really means.

At p. 26 is the following entry:—

‘Bi-heste, _sb._ promise, S, S2, C2, P; byheste, S2; beheste, S2;
byhest, S2; bihese, S; biheest, W; bihese, _pl._, S.—AS. _be-hǽs_.’

By referring to the respective indexes here cited, such as S (=
Glossary to Specimens of English, Part I), and the like, we easily
expand this article into the following:—

‘Bi-heste, _sb._ promise, S (9. 19); S2 (1_a_. 184); C2 (B 37, 41, 42,
F 698); P (3. 126); byheste, S2 (18_b_. 25); beheste, S2 (14_a_. 3);
byhest, S2 (12. 57, 18_b_. 9, [where it may also be explained by
_grant_]); bihese, S (where it is used as a plural); biheest, W
(promise, command, Lk. xxiv. 49, Rom. iv. 13; pl. _biheestis_, Heb. xi.
13); bihese, S (_pl._ behests, promises, 4_d_. 55).—AS. _behǽs_.’

In order to exhibit the full meaning of this—which requires no further
explanation to those who have in hand the books denoted by S, S2,
&c.—it would be necessary to print the article at considerable length,
as follows:—

‘Biheste, _sb._ promise; “dusi _biheste_” a foolish promise, (extract
from) Ancren Riwle, l. 19; “and wel lute wule hulde þe _biheste_ þat he
nom,” (extract from) Robert of Gloucester, l. 184; “holdeth your
_biheste_,” Chaucer, Introd. to Man of Law’s Prologue, l. 37;
“_biheste_ is dette,” same, l. 41; “al my _biheste_” same, l. 42; “or
breken his _biheste_” Chaucer, sequel to Squieres Tale, l. 698; “þorw
fals _biheste_,” Piers Plowman, Text B, Pass. iii, l. 126; “to
vol-vulle (fulfil) þat _byheste_” Trevisa (extract from), lib. vi. cap.
29, l. 25; “the lond of promyssioun, or of _beheste_,” Prol. to
Mandeville’s Travels, l. 3; “wiþ fair _by-hest_,” William and the
Werwolf, l. 57; “þe _byhest_ (promise, _or_ grant) of oþere menne
kyngdom,” Trevisa, lib. vi. cap. 29, l. 9; “y schal sende the _biheest_
of my fadir in-to ȝou,” Wyclif, Luke xxiv. 49; “not bi the lawe is
_biheest_ to Abraham,” Wycl. Rom. iv. 13; “whanne the _biheestis_ weren
not takun,” Wycl. Heb. xi. 13; “longenge to godes _bihese_” Old Eng.
Homilies, Dominica iv. post Pascha, l. 55.’

We thus obtain fifteen excellent examples of the use of this word, with
the full context and an exact reference (easily verified) in every
case. And, in the above instance, all the quotations lie within the
compass of the eleven texts in the Clarendon Press Series denoted,
respectively, by S, S2, S3, C, C2, C3, W, W2, P, H, and G.

The original design was to make use of these text-books only; but it
was so easy to extend it by including examples to be obtained from
other Glossaries and Dictionaries, that a considerable selection of
interesting words was added from these, mainly for the sake of
illustrating the words in the Clarendon text-books. These illustrative
words can be fully or partially verified by those who happen to possess
all or some of the works cited, or they can safely be taken on trust,
as really occurring there, any mistake being due to such authority.

A second example will make this clearer. ‘Brant, _adj._ steep, high,
MD, HD; brent, JD; brentest, _superl._ S2.—AS. _brant_ (_bront_); cp.
Swed. _brant_, Icel. _brattr_.’

Omitting the etymology, the above information is given in two short
lines. Those who possess the ‘Specimens of English’ will easily find
the example of the superl. _brentest_. By consulting Mätzner’s,
Halliwell’s, and Jamieson’s Dictionaries, further information can be
obtained, and the full article will appear as follows:—

‘Brant, _adj._ steep, high, MD [brant, brent, _adj._ ags. _brand_,
arduus, altus, altn. _brattr_, altschw. _branter_, schw. _brant_,
_bratt_, dän, _brat_, sch. _brent_, nordengl. Diall. _brant_: cf.
“_brant_, steepe,” Manipulus Vocabulorum, p. 25: steil, hoch.—“Apon the
bald Bucifelon _brant_ up he sittes,” King Alexander, ed. Stevenson, p.
124; “Thir mountaynes ware als _brant_ upritȝe as thay had bene
walles,” MS. quoted in Halliwell’s Dict., p. 206; “Hyȝe bonkkes &
_brent_,” Gawain and the Grene Knight, l. 2165; “Bowed to þe hyȝ bonk
þer _brentest_ hit wern,” Alliterative Poems, ed. Morris, Poem B, l.
379]; HD [brant, steep. _North_: “Brant against Flodden Hill,”
explained by Nares from Ascham, “up the steep side;” cf. Brit. Bibl. i.
132, same as _brandly_?—“And thane thay com tille wonder heghe
mountaynes, and it semed as the toppes had towched the firmament; and
thir mountaynes were als _brant_ upriȝte as thay had bene walles, so
that ther was na clymbyng upon thame,” Life of Alexander, MS. Lincoln,
fol. 38]; JD [brent, _adj._ high, straight, upright; “My bak, that
sumtyme _brent_ hes bene, Now cruikis lyk are camok tre,” Maitland
Poems, p. 193; _followed by a discussion extending to more than 160
lines of small print, which we forbear to quote_]; brentest, _superl._
S2. 13. 379 [“And bowed to þe hyȝ bonk þer _brentest_ hit were (MS.
wern),” Allit. Poems, l. 379; _already cited in_ Mätzner, _above_].’

The work, in fact, contains a very large collection of words, in many
variant forms, appearing in English literature and in Glossaries
between A.D. 1150 and A.D. 1580. The glossaries in S2, S3 (Specimens of
English, 1298-1393, and 1394-1579) have furnished a considerable number
of words belonging to the Scottish dialect, which most dictionaries
(excepting of course that of Jamieson) omit.

The words are so arranged that even the beginner will, in general,
easily find what he wants. We have included in one article, together
with the Main Word, all the variant spellings of the glossaries, as
well as the etymological information. We have also given in
alphabetical order numerous cross-references to facilitate the finding
of most of the variant forms, and to connect them with the Main Word.
In this way, the arrangement is at once etymological and
alphabetical—adapted to the needs of the student of the language and of
the student of the literature.

The meanings of the words are given in modern English, directly after
the Main Word. The variant forms, as given in their alphabetical
position, are frequently also explained, thus saving (in such cases)
the trouble of a cross-reference, if the meaning of the word is alone
required.

An attempt is made in most cases to give the etymology, so far at least
as to shew the immediate source of the Middle-English word. Especial
pains have been taken with the words of French origin, which form so
large a portion of the vocabulary of the Middle-English period. In many
cases the AF (Anglo-French) forms are cited, from my list of English
Words found in Anglo-French, as published for the Philological Society
in 1882.

The student of English who wishes to trace back the history of a word
still in use can, in general, find the Middle-English form in Skeat’s
Etymological Dictionary, and will then be able to consult the present
work in order to obtain further instances of its early use.

The relative share of the authors in the preparation of this work is
easily explained. The whole of it in its present form (with the
exception of the letter N) was compiled, prepared, and written out for
press by Mr. Mayhew. The original plan was, however, my own; and I
began by writing out the letter N (since augmented) by way of
experiment and model. It will thus be seen that Mr. Mayhew’s share of
the work has been incomparably the larger, involving all that is most
laborious. On the other hand, I may claim that much of the labour was
mine also, at a much earlier stage, as having originally compiled or
revised the glossaries marked S2, S3, C2, C3, W, W2, P, and G, as well
as the very full glossarial indexes cited as B, PP, and WA, and the
dictionary cited as SkD. The important glossary marked S was, however,
originally the work of Dr. Morris (since re-written by Mr. Mayhew), and
may, in a sense, be said to be the back-bone of the whole, from its
supplying a very large number of the most curious and important early
forms.

The material used has been carefully revised by both authors, so that
they must be held to be jointly responsible for the final form in which
the whole is now offered to the public.

1. A new and thoroughly revised edition of Stratmann’s Dictionary is
being prepared by Mr. Henry Bradley, for the Delegates of the Clarendon
Press.


Note On The Phonology Of Middle-English.

One great difficulty in finding a Middle-English word in this, or any
other, Dictionary is due to the frequent variation of the symbols
denoting the vowel-sounds. Throughout the whole of the period to which
the work relates the symbols _i_ and _y_, in particular, are constantly
interchanged, whether they stand alone, or form parts of diphthongs.
Consequently, words which are spelt with one of these symbols in a
given text must frequently be looked for as if spelt with the other;
i.e. the pairs of symbols _i_ and _y_, _ai_ and _ay_, _ei_ and _ey_,
_oi_ and _oy_, _ui_ and _uy_, must be looked upon as likely to be used
indifferently, one for the other. For further information, the student
should consult the remarks upon Phonology in the Specimens of English
(1150 to 1300), 2nd ed., p. xxv. For those who have not time or
opportunity to do this, a few brief notes may perhaps suffice.

The following symbols are frequently confused, or are employed as
equivalent to each other because they result from the same sound in the
Oldest English or in Anglo-French:—

_i_, _y_;—_ai_, _ay_;—_ei_, _ey_;—_oi_, _oy_;—_ui_, _uy_.

_a_, _o_;—_a_, _æ_, _e_, _ea_;—_e_, _eo_, _ie_;—_o_, _u_, _ou_;—(all
originally short).

_a_, _æ_, _ea_, _e_, _ee_;—_e_, _ee_, _eo_, _ie_;—_o_, _oo_, _oa_;—_u_,
_ou_, _ui_;—(all long).

These are the most usual interchanges of symbols, and will commonly
suffice for practical purposes, in cases where the cross-references
fail. If the word be not found after such substitutions have been
allowed for, it may be taken for granted that the Dictionary does not
contain it. As a fact, the Dictionary only contains a considerable
number of such words as are most common, or (for some special reason)
deserve notice; and it is at once conceded that it is but a small
hand-book, which does not pretend to exhibit in all its fulness the
extraordinarily copious vocabulary of our language at an important
period of its history. The student wishing for complete information
will find (in course of time) that the New English Dictionary which is
being brought out by the Clarendon Press will contain all words found
in our literature since the year 1100.

Of course variations in the vowel-sounds are also introduced, in the
case of strong verbs, by the usual ‘gradation’ due to their method of
conjugation. To meet this difficulty in some measure, numerous (but not
exhaustive) cross-references have been introduced, as when, e.g. ‘Bar,
bare’ is given, with a cross-reference to Beren. Further help in this
respect is to be had from the table of 183 strong verbs given at pp.
lxix-lxxxi of the Preface to Part I of the Specimens of English (2nd
edition); see, in particular, the alphabetical index to the same, at
pp. lxxxi, lxxxii. The same Preface further contains some account of
the three principal Middle-English dialects (p. xl), and Outlines of
the Grammar (p. xlv). It also explains the meaning of the symbols þ, ð
(both used for _th_), ȝ (used for _y_ initially, _gh_ medially, and
_gh_ or _z_ finally), with other necessary information.

SYMBOLS.

In the etymological part three stops are used as symbols in connexion
with the cognate forms cited, namely the comma, the semi-colon, and the
colon. The comma is used to connect various spellings of a word, as
well as parallel forms cited from nearly connected languages; for
instance, s.v. daunger, the OF. forms are so connected. The semi-colon
between two forms denotes that the two forms are phonetically
equivalent, and that the preceding one is directly derived from, and is
historically connected with the one following this symbol; for
instance, s.v. bugle, the OF. _bugle_ is the phonetic equivalent of the
Lat. _buculum_, and is immediately derived therefrom. The colon between
two forms denotes that the two forms are phonetically equivalent, and
that the form following this symbol is an earlier, more primitive form
than the one preceding, without an immediate interborrowing between the
languages being asserted; for instance, s.v. demen, the Goth. _dómjan_
is an older form than the AS. _déman_, but _déman_ is not borrowed from
the Gothic. The abbreviation ‘cp.’ introduces other cognate forms, and
has the same value as the symbol + in Skeat’s Dictionaries.

The asterisk * at the beginning of a word denotes a theoretical form,
assumed (upon scientific principles) to have formerly existed. The sign
= is to be read ‘a translation of.’ ‘(_n_)’ after Prompt., Cath. and
other authorities refers to foot-notes or other notes citing the form
in question.

Camel. The regular OF. equivalent for Lat. _camēlum_ was _chameil_. In
OF. _camel_ the termination _-el_ is due to analogy with French forms
derived from _-ālem_. See BH, § 43.

Canoun. Church Lat. _canonicus_ did not mean originally ‘one on the
church-roll or list,’ but one who was bound to observe a certain rule
of life (_canon_, κανών). OF. _chanoine_ is not the precise equivalent
of _canonicum_, but represents a Latin type *_canonium_. See Scheler’s
Dict. (ed. 3).

Effnenn, _v._ to make equal or even, S; see Euenen.

Ernes. A derivation of this word from the French has not been
proved.—OF. _ernes_ does not exist.

Falten. The form falt should be taken away from this article and placed
under Folden. The words _falt mi tunge_ mean ‘my tongue gives way.’ For
the various meanings of this verb folden, see MD (ii. 68). This
correction is due to the kindness of Prof. Napier.

For-swinken, _v._ to exhaust with toil; forswonke, _pp._, S3 (p. 364,
l. 24).

Frayd, _pp._ frightened, S3; fraid, scared, S3; see Afrayen.

Habide, _v._ to abide, resist, S2; see A-biden.

Hagt. Dr. F. Holthausen suggests that this word means ‘danger, peril,’
comparing this ME. _hagt_ with Icel. _hætta_ which has the same
meaning. Kluge connects this _hætta_ with Gothic _hāhan_, to hang, so
that it may mean radically ‘a state of being in suspense.’ The word
must have come into England in the form *_haht_, before the
assimilation of _ht_ to _tt_.

Hal, _adj._ all, S2; see Al.

Ham, _1 pr. s._ am, S; see Am.

Haxede, _pt. s._ asked, S; see Asken.

Here, _adv._ before, S; see Er.

Heremyte, _sb._ hermit, S2; heremites, _pl._, P; see Ermite.

Hulpen. (To be placed more to the right.)

Ich, _adj._ each, S, S2; see Eche.

Ieden, _pt. pl._ went, S; see Eode.

Joutes. For _jutā_ read _jūta_. For other cognates of this wide-spread
word, see Kluge (s.v. _jauche_). See also s.v. _käse_, where Kluge
remarks that Icel. _ostr_, cheese, and Finnish _juusto_, cheese, are
etymologically connected with G. _jauche_, and Latin _jus_.

Kepen. AS. _cépan_, to keep, should be kept quite distinct from AS.
_cýpan_, to sell. AS. _cýpan_ is the phonetic representative of OTeut.
_kaupjan_, whereas _cépan_, to keep, represents an OTeut. *_kōpjan_.
Cp. E. _keen_, the representative of AS. _céne_, OTeut. *_kōni_ (G.
_kühn_). See Kluge’s note in P. & B. Beiträge, viii. 538.

Mo. Add ) at the end.

Note, _sb._ nut. A better explanation of _not-heed_ is ‘with the hair
of the head closely cut.’ The verb to _nott_ means to cut the hair
close. ‘_Tondre_, to sheer, clip, cut, powle, _nott_’; Cotgrave.

Onond, _prep._ as regards, respecting, S; onont, S; see An-ent.

Quene. It should be noted that E. _queen_ is not precisely the same
word as E. _quean_. For _queen_ is the phonetic equivalent of AS.
_cwén_, Goth. _kwēns_, whereas _quean_ represents AS. _cwĕne_, Goth.
_kwĭno_.

Senged, _pp._ sun-burnt, S3 (p. 364, l. 29); see Sengin.

Sisour, _sb._ juror, PP; sysour, P; see Asisour.

Stok. Prof. Napier maintains that the stokess of the Ormulum cannot be
identified with AS. _stocc_, as the gemination of the consonant
persists in the Ormulum. He suggests that stokess means ‘places,’
comparing the use of _stoke_ in place-names, e.g. _Wude stoke_ in
Chron. (Earle, p. 249), He also cites in illustration AS. _stoc-weard_,
‘oppidanus,’ see Leo, p. 206.

Sum (1). _Dele_ ‘sumere, dat., S;’

Twichand, _pres. pt._ touching, regarding, S3 (13. 271).

Tyred, _pp._ attired, dressed, S2; see Atyren.

Urþe (written Vrþe), _sb._ earth, S2; see Erthe.

Underlining in the Dictionary

All underlining was added by the transcriber. You will see the
following forms:

errors noted by transcriber
errors noted by author
ambiguous hyphens (underlining intentionally faint)
Greek words (underlining should be invisible in most browsers)
text from Additions and Corrections (outlined as a block)


Errors and Inconsistencies

For errors corrected by the authors, see the Additions and Corrections
section.

Typographical errors are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups.
Most errors are trivial, such as missing or incorrect punctuation or
misplaced italics. Variant abbreviations such as “O.H.G.” for “OHG.”
have been regularized to the forms given in the Authorities and
Language lists. The word “invisible” in corrections means that there is
an appropriately sized blank space in the printed text.

Errors in Greek accents were silently corrected. A few minor variations
were retained, including:

“hedgehog” or “hedghog”
Cf. or Cp.
(_n_) or (_n._)
_pt. pr._ or _pt.-pr._

Alphabetization in the Dictionary

Unless otherwise noted, words are spelled and alphabetized as
originally printed. Note in particular:

The letter Æ æ is alphabetized as ae.

The letter I is alphabetized according to its phonetic value, vowel
before consonant. J is not used.

Thorn Þ þ and eth ð (capital Ð does not occur) are alphabetized as th.

The letters U and V are shown with the _form_ used in their source
documents, but are _alphabetized_ by phonetic value. A few sequences
such as initial Su- do not make this distinction.

Yogh Ȝ ȝ is alphabetized after y.

_Technical Note_

Anchors of Dictionary headwords are in the form word_entry (lower case)
with these modifications:

— æ, ð, þ, ȝ have been expanded to ae, dh, th, gh

— diacritical marks and medial hyphens have been omitted

— spaces (only in phrases) have been changed to _ lines

— duplicate headwords are identified by part of speech and, if
necessary, by number: word_thanne_adv; word_on_prefix_1. If the text
uses numbers, as with groups of identically spelled prefixes, the
anchor will use the same number.

Hyphens At Line-End

The book’s two-column format resulted in a great many line-end hyphens.
Most hyphenated words were unique, so the ordinary tests (“Is this
word, or a structurally similar one, hyphenated on its other
occurrences?”) could seldom be used.

Line-end hyphens in cross-references (“see”, “see also”, “cf.”) were
kept or omitted based on the form of the cross-referenced headword.
Note that hyphenization in this situation is very inconsistent. Except
in the Additions, cross-references often omit a mid-line hyphen that is
present in the referenced word, or include one that is absent.

Line-end hyphens were retained in past participles in i-, y- and
equivalent, and after the prefixes out- and to-; they were omitted
before common endings such as -lich, -ship, -ness, -full. They were
removed after Middle English un-, but retained after Anglo-Saxon un-.

The remaining line-end hyphens were omitted _unless_ they were in the
same location (morphological boundary) as the hyphen in the headword,
or if the hyphenated word was a compound. Within these two groups,
final decisions were based on more fluid criteria such as internal
consistency within an entry, or hyphenization of other words from the
same source. Words printed with these types of ambiguous hyphens are
lightly underlined in the e-text. The position of omitted hyphens is
generally obvious, and has not been explicitly marked.
