Brit.

/ˌmʌmˈbʌdʒɪt/, U.S.

/ˌməmˈbədʒət/

Origin: Formed within English, by conversion. Etymon: mumbudget n.

Etymology: < mumbudget n.

English regional (south-western).

intransitive. Perhaps: to fuss; to bustle. Chiefly in to come mumbudgeting. Eng. Dial. Dict. s.v. interprets the phrase as meaning ‘to come clandestinely, secretly’: cf. also quot. 1909.

1872 T. Hardy Under Greenwood Tree I. ii. ii. 143 There was this to be said for him, that you were quite sure he'd never come mumbudgeting to see ye, just as you were in the middle of your work, and put you out with his anxious trouble about you.

1872 T. Hardy Under Greenwood Tree II. iv. ii. 110 Now, don't come mumbudgeting so close again.

1909 Daily Chron. 30 Apr. 6/5 In Mr. Hardy's ‘Under the Greenwood Tree’..mumbudgeting..seems to mean rather ‘fussily’, a sense in which the word budget is still used in the Midlands.

1939 N. Marsh Overture to Death xiii. 139 Whatever be the matter with you, then, mum-budgeting so close to my apron strings?
