† interˈdice Carpentry. Obs.
Forms: 7 enterdese, enter-, interdice, 8 enter-, intertise, -duce.
[Derivation obscure.
The OF. entretoise (app. of same meaning):—late L. *intertensa ‘something stretched between’, would in Eng. normally assume the form *entertese, of which the recorded enterdese and entertise seem to be corruptions. The form enterdese seems to have been further corrupted into enter-, interdise, and perverted by pseudo-etymology into enter-, interduce, as if from L. dūcĕre to lead; while entertise, interties, have suggested the formation of the mod. synonym intertie.]
A horizontal piece of timber connecting two vertical pieces; an intertie.
