Forms: Middle English wareine, Middle English wareyne, Middle English warenne, warreyne, Middle English–1500s -ayn, wareyn, war(r)ane, 1500s warryn, 1500s–1600s waren, warraine, 1600s warrin, Middle English– warren; β. Middle English warraynte, Middle English warand(e, -ant, Middle English–1500s warraunte, 1500s, 1700s warrant.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman warenne, North-eastern Old French warenne , waresne (whence Anglo-Latin warenna ), corresponding to Central Old French, modern French garenne , game-park, also (now chiefly) rabbit-warren, Provençal garena ; of Germanic origin, < root *war- to protect, guard: compare Old French warir ware v.¹ The suffix is obscure, and it is uncertain whether the word is of Germanic or Romanic formation. The Old French type *warande (garande, -ende), whence the (Middle) Dutch warande park, may be a mere variant, or it may represent a Germanic present participle Old French had also a form varene (perhaps due to the medieval Latin varenna of charters) which survives in modern French varenne moor inhabited by game. The β forms below may possibly in part represent the Old French *warande, but compare the English addition of t in tyrant. Caxton's warande was adopted from his Dutch original.
