summedadj.Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly (i) a borrowing from French, combined with an English element. Partly (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: French sommé , sommer , sum v.1, -ed suffix1. Etymology: In sense 1 < Middle French sommé (French sommé ) (of a stag's antlers) fully developed (late 14th cent.), (of a stag) that has a full complement of antlers (early 15th cent.; the use with reference to birds apparently developed within English), specific use as adjective of past participle of sommer to achieve, accomplish (see sum v.1) + -ed suffix1. In later senses independently < sum v.1 + -ed suffix1.The β. forms appear to show reverse spellings by analogy with words ending in -mn and their derivatives, e.g. condemn v., condemned adj., in which the final n had probably become silent by the 15th cent. 1. the world > animals > mammals > group Ungulata (hoofed) > group Ruminantia (sheep, goats, cows, etc.) > male > [adjective] > having antlers a1425 Edward, Duke of York (Digby) ii. 18 Þei be halfe in greece or þere aboute þe tyme of mydel Juny, whan her heed is ysomed. 1486 sig. ejv And afterwarde in the toppe when ther .iiii. bene Then shall ye call hym sommyd an hert of .xvi. 1575 G.
