† proportn.²

Forms: 1500s proporte, 1500s–1600s proport (Scottish).

Origin: Of multiple origins. Apparently partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Partly formed within English, by conversion; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: purport n.; proport v.

Etymology: In quot. a1578 apparently an alteration of purport n., with prefix substitution (see pro- prefix¹); compare Anglo-Norman and Middle French proport purport (early 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), and also preport n. In later (Scottish) use < proport v., after post-classical Latin proportitas, proportatio verdict of an assize (both 14th cent. in Scottish sources; compare quot. 1597). For further post-classical Latin parallels see purport n.

Chiefly Scottish. Obsolete.
