† underfadj.

Forms: early Middle English underue.

Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: English underuo , underfo v.

Etymology: Probably an alteration of underuo, variant past participle of underfo v. (compare variant reading in quot.), apprehended as if < un- prefix¹ + derf adj.In quot. a1250 the scribe of MS Titus, probably influenced by the preceding unstrengðe , has apparently misread the presumed underuo of the archetype as a negative adjective formed on derf adj. The form underuo represents a variant (with loss of final -n ) of underuon , the usual form of the past participle of underfo v. in the so-called ‘AB language’ of the south-west midlands.
