maunderingn.

Brit.

/ˈmɔːnd(ə)rɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈmɔnd(ə)rɪŋ/,

/ˈmɑnd(ə)rɪŋ/

Forms: 1600s maundring, 1700s– maundering.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: maunder v.², -ing suffix¹.

Etymology: Apparently < maunder v.² (although this is first attested slightly later) + -ing suffix¹.The compound maundering broth (also broach , breath ) is recorded in various 18th-cent. cant dictionaries with the gloss ‘scolding’ (earliest in B. E. New Dict. Canting Crew (1699), latest in Tom & Jerry Flash Dict. (c1825)); analysis of the compound is opaque, but sense 1 is perhaps the likeliest interpretation of its first element.

†1. Discontented muttering or grumbling; an instance of this. Obsolete.
