† aˈnorn, v. Obs.
Also 4–5 aourn, anowrn(e, enourn(e, 5 aorne, 4–6 anourn, 6 annorn.
[a. OFr. aörne-r, aöurne-r:—L. adornā-re; in later Fr. adorner, adorn. By identification of a- prefix 7 with a- prefix 2, of which the full form bef. a vowel was an- (see an- prefix 1), a-ourne was erron. expanded into an-ourne, and this again after analogy of Fr. words in en- (often an- in AFr. and Eng.) was frequently made enorn. Anourn was further confused with the infinitive anour-en, contr. anour-n, of vb. anoure ‘adore, honour,’ the confusion being facilitated by the fact that the senses come into contact, since to adorn is a common form of honouring. See anoure, adorn, and adore.]
To deck, dress, trim; = adorn.
