friendless man
c. Anglo-Saxon Law. Outlawed; exiled. Chiefly in friendless man. Now historical. [As a term of Anglo-Saxon legal history, apparently deriving from a substitution for original friþlēas outlawed ( < friþ frith n.1 + -lēas -less suffix) in the textual transmission of a Latin translation of the Laws of Cnut (see quots. OE, c1300). It is uncertain whether the variant reading fredlese (from the 12th-cent. Lambeth manuscript) in quot. c1300 should be taken as the earliest witness to the substitution or as showing a variant of frith n.1 in its first element; in any case, use of the word in quot. ?c1300 (where it is usually assumed to be the authorial reading) also suggests that the substitution ultimately goes back to the 12th cent. The substitution is perhaps partly due to confusion with legal use of Old English frēondlēas as seen e.g. in quot. OE3 at sense A. 1a, also from the Laws of Cnut. Compare, however, the association of exile and lack of supporters in contexts such as quot. OE2 at sense A. 1a; such an association perhaps also underlies use in quot. c1325.] The collocation friendless man is sometimes taken as a phrase, sometimes as a compound (compare quot. 1666).
