Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: walk v.
Etymology: Originally the same word as walk v. (compare senses of Germanic cognates cited at that entry), now often distinguished in form in the senses below.It is noteworthy that the word is not independently attested until the 15th cent., in contrast to the corresponding agent noun waulker n., which is attested in early Old English. This has led to the proposal of an alternative etymology (see N.E.D. (1921)) either as a borrowing < Middle Dutch walken or Middle Low German walken , or as a back-formation < waulker n. (in both cases assuming that the corresponding sense of the Germanic verb had not survived in Old English); however, this seems unlikely, especially given the earlier currency in compounds of the apparently deverbative element waulk in the sense ‘fulling of cloth’ (see waulk mill n. and discussion at that entry and compare Compounds). The existence of the Middle Dutch and Middle Low German verbs may, nevertheless, have reinforced the use in Middle English. The form waulk, which is the usual spelling in Scots, has to some extent been adopted in standard English historical use, and is now more common than walk (formerly the usual English spelling), except in specifically English regional contexts.
1. transitive. To subject (woollen cloth) to the operation of beating or pressing (together with other processes, as moistening and heating), in order to cause felting of the fibres and consequent shrinkage and thickening; to cause (woollen cloth) to mat together or felt; = full v.2 1. Also intransitive. In later use chiefly Scottish and English regional (northern). Now chiefly historical. Sc. National Dict. (at cited word) records this sense as still in use in Shetland and northern Scotland in 1973, but marks it as obsolescent (except in historical use).
