PREFACE. 


Soia  seren  centuries  ago,  two  distinct  langiuges  were  spoken 
tiuronglKHit  England,  the  Anglo-Saxon,  which  was  that  of  onr  Teu- 
tonic fare&thers,  and  consequent] j  one  of  the  pure  Teutonic  dialects, 
and  the  Anglo-Norman^  one  of  the  Neo-Latin  fiunily  of  tongues, 
which  was  hronght  in  by  the  Korman  conquest.  For  some  time, 
these  two  languages  reoiained  perfectly  distinct,  the  Ang^Norman 
being  the  only  one  spoken  or  understood  by  the  higher  classes  of 
society;  ^Hiile  the  lower  dasses,  and  a  great  portion  of  the 
intermediate  class,  used  only  the  Anglo-Saxon.  Some  only  of  the 
middle  dasses,  more  espedally  those  engaged  in  mercantile  occu- 
pations, were  acquainted  with  both.  It  was  not  until  the  thirteenth 
century,  when  the  intercourse  between  the  several  classes  had  become 
more  intimate,  that  an  intermixture  of  the  two  bmguages  b^an  to 
take  place,  and  then  all  the  educated  classes  appear  to  hare  been  well 
acquainted  with  both  tongues.  From  this  time  forwards,  an  English 
writer,  though  using  the  Anglo-Saxon  tongue,  adopted  just  as  many 
Anglo-Norman  words  as  he  pleased, — in  fact  it  had  assumed  the 
^  character  of  a  language  of  two  ingredients,. which  mi^ht  be  mixed 
together  in  any  proportion,  from  pure  Anglo-Norman  (pvre,  as  r^^g^ds 
the  derivation  of  the  words)  to  nearly  pure  Anglo-Saxon,  according 
to  the  class  of  society  for  which  he  wrote.  Tj^us,  i^Je^  ^  ^^^ 
middle  of  the  fourteenth  century,  the  language  of*  Piers  Plbaghman, 
which  was  designed  for  a  popular  work,  contains  a-K^mAl^abij  amail 
ndxtuxe  of  Anglo-Norman  words,  while  in  the  xntmg?  cf  Qiancer, 
who  was  essentially  a  Court  poet,  the  proportion  of  the  Anglo- 
Norman  to  the  Anglo-Saxon  is  very  great.  Much  of  this  Anglo- 
Norman  element  was  afterwards  rejected  £rom  the  English  language, 
bat  mneh  was  retained,  and  of  course  a  proportional  quantity  of  Anglo-

Saxon  ^ta  diBplaced  by  it.  In  consequence  of  this  unsettled  state  of 
the  English  language^  the  writers  of  the  ages  of  change  and  transition 
contain  a  very  large  number  of  words  belonging  to  the  Anglo-Saxon 
as  well  as  to  the  Anglo-Norman,  which  are  no  longer  contained  in  the 
English  tongue. 

Such  was  the  first  process  of  the  formation  of  the  English  language. 
The  limitation  of  the  Anglo-Norman  element  seems  to  have  taken 
place  in  the  fifteenth  century,  when  a  considerable  portion  of  the 
Anglo-Norman  words  used  by  previous  English  writers  were  rejected 
from  the  En^ish  language,  and  were  never  seen  in  it  again.  But  as 
these  disappeared,  they  were  succeeded  by  a  new  dass  of  intruders. 
The  scholastic  system  of  the  age  of  the  Eeformation,  had  caused  a 
veiy  extensiye  cultivation  and  knowledge  of  the  Latin  language,  and 
it  is  probable  that  the  great  mass  of  the  reading  public  at  that  time 
were  almost  as  well  acquainted  with  Latin  as  with  their  own  mother 

i  tongue.  In  consequence  of  this  universal  knowledge  of  Latin,  the 
writers  of  the  sixteenth  century,  without  any  sensible  inconvenience, 
used  just  as  many  Latin  words  as  they  l^ed  in  writing  English, 
merely  giving  them  an  English  grammatical  form.  The  English 
language  thus  became  suddenly  encumbered  with  Latin  words,  until, 
at  the  end  of  the  sixteenth  century  and  beginning  of  the  seventeenth, 
the  practice  of  thus  using  Latin  words  was  carried  to  such  a  degree 
of  pedantie  affectation,  that  it  effected  its  own  cure.  A  popuUr 
writer  of  this  period,  Samuel  Eowlands,  in  a  satirical  tract  published 
in  1611,  under  the  title  of  "  The  Knave  of  Clubbs,"  has  the  following 
lines  upon  this  fashion,  which  had  at  that^  date  reached  its  culmi- 
nating point :

And  not  Contaminate  my  company. 

A  few  of  these  Latin  words  have  held  their  place  in  the  language,

I        ^rm  these  and  other  eanaes  it  happens,  thai  of  a  rtry  large 

I     potioo  of  English  literatore,  one  part  would  be  totally  nnintelligible 

totlie  genenJ  reader,  and  the  other  would  present  continual  diffi- 

^ties,  vithout  a  dictionarf  especially  deroted  to  the  obsolete  words 

of  our  laogoage.    It  is  the  object  of  the  Tolumes  now  offered  to  the 

poUic,  to  famish  a  compendious  and  us^ul  work  of  this  kind,  which 

sittil  contain  the  obsolete  Anglo-Saxon  and  An^o-Norman  words 

osed  b^  the  English  writers  of  the  fourteenth  and  fifteenth  centuries, 

BttOT  of  the  obsolete  Latin  words  introduced  in  the  sixteenth  and 

Krentecath  centuries,  as  well  as  words  which  haye  been  adopted 

^Dponrilj  at  various  times  according  to  prerailing  fashions  from 

other  languages,  such  as  French,  Italian,  Spanish,  or  Dutch,  or 

vbich  belonged  to  sentiments,  manners^  customs,  habits,  and  modes, 

te  hare  existed  at  particular  periods  and  disappeared. 

^liere  is  another  class  of  words,  forming  at  least  an  intereating 
Portum  of  the  English  language,  and  coming  especially  within  the 
objects  of  a  work  of  this  kind,  those  of  the  prorindal  dialects.  There 
can  be  no  doubt  that  the  peouliar  characteristics,  or,  we  may  say,  the 
orgaiuc  diSerencea  of  dialect,  are  derived  more  or  less  from  a  diversity 
of  tribe  among  the  Anglo-Saxon  settlers  in  our  island;  for,  as  far  as 
our  materials  allow  us  to  go,  we  can  trace  these  diversities  in  Anglo- 
^on  times.    As,  however,  during  the  middle  ages,  and,  in  fact, 
down  to  very  recent  times,  the  intercommunication  between  different 
parU  of  the  country  was  very  imperfect,  progress,  of  whatever  kind 
vas  by  no  means  uiifocm  throughout  the  kingdom,  and  we  find  in 
the  provincial  dialects  not  only  considerable  numbers  of  old  Anglo- 
Saxon  and  even  Angb-Norman  words,  which  have  not  been  pre- 
served in  the  language  of  refined  society,  and  which,  in  many  cases,  as 
iar  as  regards  the  Anglo-Saxon,  are  not  even  found  in  the  necessarily 
imperfect  vocabulary  of  the  language  in  its  pure  state  which  we  are 
enabled  to  form  from  its  written  monuments;  but  also  numerous 
words,  m  general  use  at  a  much  later  period,  but  which,  while  they 
became  obsolete  in  the  Eng^  language  generally,  have  been  pre- 
served orally  in  particular  districts.    The  number  and  character  o'

these  words  is  very  remarkable,  and  instances  will  be  oontinnally 
found,  in  the  following  pages,  where  a  word  which  is  now  considered 
as  peculiarly  characteristic  of  the  dialect  of  some  remote  district, 
occurs  as  one  in  general  use  among  the  popular,  and  especially  the 
dramatic,  writers,  of  the  age  which  followed  the  Eestoration. 

Words  of  this  description  are  a  necessary  part  of  a  dictionaiy  like 
the  present,  and  they  have  been  collected  with  as  much  care  as  possi- 
ble. On  the  other  hand,  the  mere  organic  differences  of  dialect,  as 
well  as  the  differences  of  orthography  in  words  as  found  in  different 
medieval  manuscripts  and  early  printed  books,  have  been  inserted 
sparingly,  as  belonging  rather  to  a  Comparative  Grammar  or  to  a  phi- 
lological treatise,  than  to  a  dictionary.  In  fact,  to  give  this  class  of 
variations  fully,  would  be  simply  to  make  a  dictionary  of  each  parti- 
cular dialect,  and  of  each  medieval  manuscript,  and  to  combine  these 
altogether,  which  could  not  be  done  within  any  moderate  limits,  and 
if  done,  with  regard  to  the  manuscripts  especially,  the  first  new 
manuscript  that  turned  up  would  only  show  its  imperfection.  It  has, 
therefore,  been  considered  advisable  not  to  insert  mere  orthographical 
variations  of  words,  unless  where  they  appeared  for  some  reason  or 
other  sufficiently  important  or  interesting.  There  are,  moreover, 
certain  letters  and  combinations  of  letters  which  are  in  the  older 
forms  of  the  English  language  interchangeable,  so  that  we  constantly 
find  the  same  word  occurring,  even  in  the  same  manuscript,  under 
two  or  three  different  forms,  none  of  which  are  to  be  regarded  as 
corruptions.  To  insert  all  these  forms,  would  be  to  increase  the 
dictionary  twofold  or  threefold,  for  the  words  in  which  those  letters 
occur,  without  any  proportionate  advantage;  I  have  therefore  in 
general  given  the  word  only  under  the  form  in  which  it  occurs  most 
usually,  or  which  seems  most  correct ;  but,  to  facilitate  the  reference, 
I  add  at  the  end  of  this  preface  a  list  of  the  more  common  inter- 
changes of  this  kind,  so  that  if  a  word  be  not  found  under  one  form, 
it  may  be  sought  for  under  another. 

Various  and  indeed  numerous  glossaries  have  been  already  pub- 
lished, both  of  provincial  and  of  Archaic  English,  but  most  of  them 
have  been  special  rather  than  general.  We  may  mention  among  these 
the  valuable  work  of  Archdeacon  Nares,  which,  however,  was  de- 
voted only  to  the  writers  of  a  particular  period ;  the  extensive  undcr-

In  compiling  the  following  pages,  I  haye  taken  all  the  adYantage 
I  eonld  honestly  of  the  labours  of  my  predecessors,  in  addition 
to  a  large  quantity  of  original  material  which  was  placed  in 
my  hands,  md  I  have  added  to  this  numeroua  coUcctions  of 
my  own,  especially  from  the  dramatic  and  popular  writers  of  the 
latter  half  of  the  seyenteenth  century,  and  of  the  earlier  part  of 
the  eighteenth.  I  haye  also  profited  by  lists  of  Ibcal  words  com- 
moTiiaited  from  yarioua  parts  of  the  kingdom,  and  among  those  who 
hare  contributed  in  this  maimer,  I  haye  especially  to  acknowledge 
the  aeryices  of  the  Key.  E.  Gillet,  of  Runham,  in  Norfolk.  To 
make  soch  a  work  perfect  is  impossible ;  but  I  hope  that,  on  the 
whole,  the  present  will  be  found  one  of  the  most  generally  useful 
works  of  the  kind  that  has  yet  appeared.

Abridgement,  8.  The  word  was 
used  in  Shakespere's  time  (see 
Mids.  N.  D.,  V,  1)  to  signify  a 
dramatic  performance;  perhaps 
from  the  prevalence  of  the  histo- 
rical drama,  in  which  the  events 
of  years  were  so  abridged  as  to 
be  brought  within  the  compass  of 
a  play.  In  Hamlet /ix,  2,  "Look 
where  my  abridgement  comes," 
the  sense  is  doubtful.  But  in  a 
subsequent  passage  Hamlet  calls 
the  players  "the  abstract,  and

Ajax.    Pronounced  Ajax  (with  the 


a  long.)  Sir  John  Harrington,  in 
1596,  published  a  celebrated 
tract,  called  "The  Metamor- 
phosis of  Ajas"  by  which  he 
meant  the  improvement  of  a 
jakee,  or  privy,  by  forming  it  into 
what  we  now  call  a  water-eloset, 
of  which  Sir  John  was  clearly  tlie 
inventor.  The  book  was  an  of- 
fence to  delicacy, for wliich  Queen 
Elizabeth  kept  him  for  some  time 
in  disgrace.  Probably  from  this 
circumstance,  the  writers  of  the 
Shakespearian  age  were  coiiti- 
nually  playing  on  this  name, 
by  taking  it  in  the  sense  given 
to  it  by  Harrington.

to  tbe  meeting,  to  be  lord  and

Buiubly  as  they  can  to  the  cha- 
racters they  assume.  A  large 
empty  bam,  or  some  such  build- 
ing, is  provided  for  tbe  lord's 
hall,  and  fitted  up  with  seats  to 
accommodate  the  company. 
Here  they  assemble  to  dance  and 
regale  in  the  best  manner  their 
drcumstanoes  and  the  place  will 
afford;  and  each  young  fellow 
treats  his  girl  with  a  riband 
or  favour.  The  lord  and  lady 
honour  the  hall  with  their  pre- 
sence, attended  by  the  steward, 
sword-bearer,  purse-bearer,  and 
mace-bearer,  with  their  several 
badges  or  ensigns  of  office.  They 
have  likewise  a  train-bearer  or 
page,  and  a  fool  or  jester,  drest 
in  a  psrty-coloured  jacket,  whose 
ribaldry  and  gesticulation  cootri^ 
bote  not  a  little  to  the  entertain- 
ment of  some  part  of  the  com-

top.  Buttons,  marbles,  or  any- 
thing else,  according  to  agree- 
ment, are  given  for  the  privilege 
of  throwing  a  short  stick  at  the 
peg.  If  the  button  fly  out  of 
the  ring,  the  player  is  entitled 
to  double  the  stipulated  value  of 
what  he  gives  for  the  stick.  The 
game  is  also  practised  at  races, 
and  other  places  of  amusement, 
with  three  pegs,  which  are  put 
into  three  circular  holes,  made  in 
the  ground,  about  two  feet  apart, 
and  forming  a  triangle.  In  this 
case  each  hole  contains  a  peg, 
about  nine  inches  long,  upon 
which  are  deposited  either  a  small 
knife  or  some  copper.

ANTiMA8au£,  t.  A  contrast  to  the 
principal  matgue,  a  ridiculoas 
interlude,  dividing  the  parts  of 
the  more  serious  masque.  It 
appears  to  have  been  distinguish- 
ed by  extravagance,  and  was 
usually  performed  by  actors  hired 
from  the  theatres ;  whereas  the 
masque  itself  was  more  usually 
acted  by  ladies  and  gentlemen. 
It  resembled  the  exodia  of  the 
Romans. 

Let  anti-maiki  not  be  long,  therbave 
been  commonly  of  fools,  tatyrt,  baT)oons, 
wild  men,  mntique*,  beasts,  spirits, 
witches,  Ethiops,  pigmies,  turquets, 
nymphs,  rustics,  cupids,  statnas  moving, 
and  the  like.  As  for  angels,  it  is  not 
comical  enough  to  put  tnem  in  mUi- 
maths ;  and  aiiy  thing  that  is  hideous,  as 
devils,  giants, 'is  on  the  other  side  as 
unfit.  But  chiefly  let  t^e  mnsick  of 
them  be  recreative,  and  wiih  strange 
changes.  Some  sweet  odours  suddenly 
coming  forth,  without  any  drops  falling, 
are  in  such  a  company,  as  there  is  steam 
and  heat,  things  of  great  pleasure  and 
refreshment.  JJocom,  Bs$oiy  87.

amongst  country  fellows  to  carry 
the  flowers  of  this  plant  in  their

should  succeed  with  their  sweet- 
hearts.  Hence  arose  thc  phrase, 
"to  wear  bachelor's  buttons," 
for  being  unmarried.  In  some 
parts,  still,  the  flower-heads  of 
the  common  burdock,  and  the 
wild  scabious,  are  thus  named.

Barbican,  1  «.  When  the  siege 
barbecan,  v  of  a  castle  was  an- 
BARBACAN,J  ticipatcd,  the  de- 
fenders   erected    wooden    pal- 


ing and  other  timlier  work  in 
advance  of  the  entrance  gateway, 
assuming  often  the  form  of  a 
small  fortress,  where  they  ooold 
hold  the  enemy  at  bay  for  some 
time  before  it  was  necessary  to 
defend  the  gate  itself;  and  they 
also  placed  wood-work  before  the 
windovrs,  which  protected  those 
who  were  shooting  out  of  them. 
Either  of  these  was  called  r 
barbican,  a  word  which,  and 
therefore  probably  the  practice, 
was  derived  from  the  Arabic.  The 
advanced  work  covering  the 
gateway  was  afterwards  made 
of  stone,  and  thus  became  per- 
manent. When  the  old  system 
of  defending  fortresses  went  out 
of  use,  the  original  meaning  of 
the  word  was  forgotten,  and  the 
way  in  which  the  word  was  used 
in  the  older  writers  led  to  some 
confusion.  It  is  explained  by 
Spelman:  ''A  fort,  hold,  or 
munition  placed  in  the  front  of 
a  castle,  or  an  out-work.  Also  a 
hole  in  the  wall  of  a  city  or  cas- 
tie,  through  which  arrows  or 
darts  were  cast;  also  a  watch- 
tower."  The  temporary  wooden

the  middle  one  was  called  hell. 
The  couple  condemned  to  this 
division  were  to  catch  the  others, 
who  advanced  from  the  two  ex- 
tremities; when  this  had  been 
effected,  a  change  of  situation 
took  place,  and  hell  was  filled  by 
the  couple  who  were  excluded 
by  prc-occiipstion  from  the  other 
places.  By  the  regulations  of  the 
game,  the  middle  couple  were 
not  to  separate  before  they  bad 
aucceeded,  while  the  others  might 
break  hands  whenever  they  found 
themselves  hard  pressed.  When 
all  had  been  taken  in  turn,  the

they  were  licentiatcd  to  ^oe  a  bcgKiug. 
I'hey  had  on  their  left  arm  an  ariiiillu  gf 
tin,  about  four  inches  long :  they  could 
not  get  it  off.  They  wore  about  their 
necks  a  freat  horn  of  an  ox  in  a  string 
or  bawdrick,  which  when  they  came  to 
a  house  for  alms  they  did  wind ;  and 
they  did  put  the  drinke  pven  them  into 
this  born ;  whereto  they  did  put  a  stop*

church  of  St.  Gilet,  Oxford,  for  ao 
article  used  at  the  festival  of  that 
saint,  which  has  lieen  a  subject  of 
some  discussion,  and  is  sup|M)sed 
to  mean  bitters,  or  bitter  herbi 
dried.  lo  the  earlier  half  of  the 
16tb  cent,  there  is  a  regular 
charge  in  the  pari&h  accouut«i  of

to  throw  soroe  light  on  the  sub- 
ject:  "Comp.  1540.  It.  for  a 
pound  of  Judas  betars  Id  J*  Ano. 
ther  item  occurs  occasionally,  not 
only  in  these  accounts,  hut  in 
those  of  other  churches,  "  for  a 
pound  of  betan  for  Judas  light." 
This  item,  coupled  with  others, 
for  "  wax  for  the  dedication  day,

of  wax  at  S.  Gyles  tyde  2t.  6</." 
— "  It,  for  gress  (jrease)  at  the 
dedication  day,"  &c.,  has  led  to 
the  supposition  that  the  beiars 
were  mixed  with  combustible 
matter,  to  cause  a  smell  in  burn-

use  the  word  for  any  coarse  kind

BLowv.RBBRtifO.  "  In  some  parts 
of  England  they  are  called  bknUed 
herrmfftf  and  the  term  occurs  in 
several  of  our  writers  about  Elisa- 
beth's day,  but  not,  I  believe,  in 
Shakespeare.  The  word  bloatod 
is  a  confirmation  of  the  above 
conjecture  as  to  the  origin  of 
Mnm,  being  merely  another  form 


of  the  word,  but  not  so  appHcable. 
We  sometimes  see  and  hear  hhwmf 
bloated,  and  puffed  «p,  in  neariy 
the  same  sense.  I  have  heard 
our  blown-herrings  called  bawen 
herrings,  and  bone-herrings,  but 
never  any  good  reason  for  so 
calting  them.  Hottn  is  another 
sense  of  blown  or  puflTed  np, 
but  never  applied  to  a  herring. 
Since  the  al>ove  was  written,  X 
have  seen  (October,  1823)  in  a 
shop  in  Great  Russell  Street,  a 
parcel  of  ^^oira-herrings  ticketed 
'  fine  Yarmouth  bloaters/  1824, 
in  the  autumn  of  this  year,  bear- 
ing the  blown  or  bown  herrings 
cried  in  Woodbridge  by  the  name 
of  Tow  Bowen  herrings,  I  learned 
on  enquiry  that  it  is  a  common 
name  for  them."  Mwt'9  Suffolk

naturally  cool  a  person  in  hot  weather 
as  it  will  heat  a  person  in  cold  weather ; 
but  I  mtut  own  as  for  my  own  choice,  a 
little  good  strong  beer  when  thirsty  is 
much  more  aereeable  than  any  dram  j 
and  therefore  I  cannot  blame  that  man' 
conduct,  who  having  n>t  a  bottle  of 
ttmHbus  bv  him,  invited  his  oeif  hbonr 
to  take  a  dxam  of  it,  and  immediately 
sent  for  a  full  pot  of  beer  and  scor'd  it 
to  him  in  lieu  of  his  dram.  I  cannot 
think  but  the  gin  would  have  been  wdl 
soM,  if  he  that  receiv'd  the  benevolent 
dram  had  been  such  a  fool  as  to  have
