fellingn.

Brit.

/ˈfɛlɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈfɛlɪŋ/

Forms: see fell v. and -ing suffix¹.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: fell v., -ing suffix¹.

Etymology: < fell v. + -ing suffix¹.Compare Middle Low German vellinge action of cutting something down, (in extended use) abatement, deduction. With sense 2 compare ( < English) post-classical Latin felinga , felenga abatement, deduction (14th cent. in a British source). Attestation in place names (in sense 1a) can be difficult to distinguish from the reflex of Old English fylging , faelging land brought under cultivation for the first time, arable land (see fallowing n.), as potentially there is both formal overlap and use in similar contexts. Perhaps compare the place name Herthefellige, Lancashire (1201; also Hertfellinge (1201–20); now Haresfinch). Compare also Felling, Durham (c1220), Le Vallyng, Clent, Worcestershire (1349).

†a. concrete. An open space in a forest; a clearing. Obsolete.Quot. OE has sometimes alternatively been interpreted as showing a form of Old English fylging, faelging (see discussion in the etymology section).In quot. a1400 probably as a substitution of earlier fell (fell n.³; cf. variant readings) for the sake of rhyme.
