† dungeonableadj.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: dungeon v., -able suffix.

Etymology: < dungeon v. + -able suffix.Probably arising from an original literal sense ‘fit to be confined in a dungeon’, although evidence for this is lacking. It seems likely that the later sense ‘having great knowledge or insight’ (compare quot. 1855 at sense 2) reflects a reinterpretation of earlier glossarial evidence, probably prompted by a desire to relate the word to Scots use of dungeon in the sense ‘person of deep knowledge or insight’ (see dungeon n. 8b), further influenced by a shift in the most widely understood sense of shrewd adj. (compare senses 1a and 13a at that entry). Compare also dungeon n. 8a (and shrewd adj. 12).

English regional (northern). Obsolete.

1. Malicious, damnable; roguish, ‘devilish’. Cf. shrewd adj. 1a.
