mardlev.

Brit.

/ˈmɑːdl/, U.S.

/ˈmɑrdəl/

Forms: 1800s mardel, 1800s maudle, 1800s– mardle.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps an imitative or expressive formation.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps imitative. Compare -le suffix 3. Compare mardle n.² Perhaps compare maudle v. 2.Connection with mardle n.³ or its probable etymon, as has been suggested, seems unlikely. It is unclear what Old English word is intended by the moedlan suggested as an etymon in R. Malster Mardler's Compan. (1999) at cited word; it may perhaps be an error for mædlan mele v. Compare isolated evidence for Scots mardel in sense ‘a gossip’ in Sc. National Dict. s.v. Mardle adj., n.¹, probably in origin the same word as mardle n.¹, and probably unrelated to the present word (although placed together in Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. Mardle v. and n.¹).
