annilingn.
Typographical error for anuiling, variant of anvilling n., in Thomas Nashe's Lenten Stuffe (see quot. 1599 at anvilling n. for corrected reading). N.E.D. (1884) entered this under the headword annihiling, deriving it from annihil v. and defining it as ‘annihilating, annihilation’.
This entry has been updated (OED Third Edition, March 2022).
