wayzgoosen.

Brit.

/ˈweɪzɡuːs/, U.S.

/ˈweɪzˌɡus/

Inflections: Plural wayzgooses, (rare) wayzgeese.

Forms: 1700s– wayzgoose, 1800s waysegoose, 1800s– waysgoose, 1800s– wayzegoose, 1800s– wazegoose; also with capital initial.

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: waygoose n.

Etymology: Apparently an alteration of waygoose n., after wase n., originally as an attempt to provide an etymology (by Nathan Bailey; compare quot. 1731 at main sense).There is no secure independent evidence for the sense ‘stubble goose’ posited by Bailey. The rare plural form wayzgeese (after geese, plural of goose n.) usually appears alongside wayzgooses in contexts showing uncertainty over the correct form.

An entertainment given by a master printer to his workmen around St Bartholomew's Day (24 August), marking the beginning of the season of working by candlelight. In later use: an annual festivity held in summer by the members of a printing establishment, consisting of a dinner and (usually) an excursion into the country. Cf. earlier waygoose n.
