wilderv.

Brit.

/ˈwɪldə/, U.S.

/ˈwɪldər/

Etymology: Of uncertain origin: probably (by an unusual process) extracted < wilderness n. on the analogy of the form of wander ; but compare Middle Dutch verwilderen , frequentative of verwilden ( < ver- for- prefix¹ + wilde , wilt wild adj.), and German wildern . It has been frequently apprehended as an aphetic < bewilder v. (which is later in appearance), and occasionally spelt 'wilder.

archaic (now chiefly poetic).

a. transitive. To cause to lose one's way, as in a wild or unknown place; to lead or drive astray; reflexive to lose one's way, go astray.
