kembv.

Forms: α. Old English cemban, ( cæmban), Middle English kemben, Middle English–1600s kembe, (1500s kimbe), 1500s– kemb. past tense and past participle Middle English–1700s kembed, Middle English– kempt. β. Middle English cemme, 1500s–1600s kemm, 1800s kem. γ. Middle English–1500s keme, (1500s keame, keyme), 1600s keem.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Common Germanic: Old English cęmban = Old Saxon kembian , kemmian (Middle Dutch kemmen ), Old High German chempan (Middle High German kemben , kemmen , German kämmen ), Old Norse kemba (Danish kæmme ) < Old Germanic *kambjan , < kamb- comb n. Now displaced by comb v.¹ ( < comb n.; compare Dutch kammen, Swedish kamma), but partly surviving in the past participle kempt, and the commoner unkempt. In Middle English the vowel usually remained short, and the commonest spelling is kemb or kemm: forms indicating a long vowel are much less frequent. In later Scots it is difficult to separate kemb or keme < kame = comb.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

a. transitive. To disentangle and smooth (hair) by drawing a comb through it; to dress or trim (the hair, head, a person, etc.) with a comb; to curry (a horse): = comb v.¹ 1. Now dialect.
