all-wieldingadj.

Brit.

/ˌɔːlˈwiːldɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈˌɔlˈwildɪŋ/,

/ˈˌɑlˈwildɪŋ/

Forms: Old English eallwaldende, Old English eallwealdende, Old English ealwældende, Old English–early Middle English ealwealdende, early Middle English alwaldand, early Middle English alwaldinde, early Middle English alweldend, early Middle English alweldinde, early Middle English eallweldande, Middle English allweldand (northern and north midlands), Middle English allwelding, Middle English allweldynge, Middle English alweeldande (East Anglian), Middle English alweldand (northern and north midlands), Middle English alweldande (chiefly northern), Middle English alwelding, Middle English alweldonde (north-west midlands), Middle English alweldyng, Middle English alweldynge, 1700s– all-wielding; also Scottish pre-1700 allveldand, pre-1700 allweildand, pre-1700 allweldand.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: all adv., English wealdende , wealdan ; all adv., English wēlden.

Etymology: Originally < all adv. + Old English wealdende, present participle of (strong) wealdan wield v. (compare all adj., pron., n., adv., and conj. Compounds 2a(b)), after alwaldend n. In later use (in Middle English) also from all adv. + the present participle of (weak) wēlden (see discussion at wield v.). Compare classical Latin omnipotēns omnipotent adj. and the Germanic parallels cited at alwaldend n. Compare also almighty adj.Old English eallwealdende apparently shows the replacement of an older formation in -end suffix¹ (i.e. alwaldend n.) by a formation with the present participle. In some inflectional forms, the word cannot be distinguished from eallwealdend alwaldend n. The (mid 11th-cent.) Old English form ealwældende probably shows late Old English monophthongization of West Saxon ea in -wealdende (compare A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §329.2), rather than an early instance of the substitution of the forms of the weak verb (compare discussion at alwaldend n.).

Now chiefly archaic.

All-powerful, almighty.
