† abeyv.¹

Forms: Old English abegan, Old English abygan, early Middle English abude (south-western, past tense), Middle English abeye, Middle English abeyȝe, Middle English abuye (chiefly south-western), Middle English abye (south-western), Middle English abyȝe, late Middle English abaye (in a late copy), late Middle English abouye (south-western), late Middle English (in a late copy) 1500s–1600s abey.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: a- prefix¹, bey v.

Etymology: < a- prefix¹ + bey v. Compare abow v. Compare also Old English onbīgan to subdue, to subjugate ( < on- prefix + bey v.; compare Old High German anagebouetemo , transmission error for *anagebougetemo (past participial adjective) bent, curved), and see discussion at a- prefix³.In Old English (late West Saxon) in some forms difficult to distinguish from forms of abow v. (see discussion at that entry). From the Middle English period onwards, this word can be difficult to distinguish from obey v., especially when not used in constructions with the preposition to . The two verbs were probably confused from an early date (compare β. forms at obey v.).

Obsolete.

1. transitive. To bend, curve; to incline, lower; to make obedient; to subject, subordinate (to a person or command). Also reflexive.
