单词 waldin
释义

waldinadj.

Forms: Scottish pre-1700 waldin, pre-1700 walding, pre-1700 1800s waldyn, pre-1700 1800s–1900s waddin, 1800s wadden, 1800s waiden (Shetland); English regional (chiefly Northumberland) 1700s walding, 1800s waaden, 1800s wadden, 1800s waddin, 1800s waden, 1800s wauden, 1800s waudon.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: English wald , wield v., -en suffix6, -in , -ing suffix2.
Etymology: Either (i) < wald, variant of wield v. + -en suffix6 (perhaps originally reflecting a strong past participle form of wield v.; compare Forms 3α. at that entry and Old English gewealden (adjective) easily controlled: see un-i-welde adj.), or perhaps (ii) < wald + -in, variant of -ing suffix2.If the original suffix was -en suffix6, the form walding (found in Older Scots and later in northern English) may be the result of a later reinterpretation of the final syllable as showing -in , variant of -ing suffix2.
Scottish and English regional (chiefly Northumberland). Obsolete.
Physically agile, nimble; (of the body or a limb) supple, flexible; (of an object) pliable. Later also: able, powerful; active; vigorous (apparently only in dictionaries). In early use often in collocation with wight (cf. wight adj. 3).In quot. a16001 figurative (of a person): yielding, compliant.
