Forms: 1800s waly-waucht, 1800s willy-wacht, 1800s wullie-waught, 1800s wully-waucht, 1800s wully-waught, 1800s– willie-waught, 1900s willie-waucht, 1900s wullie-waucht, 1900s– willy-waught.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: goodwilly adj., waught n.

Etymology: < willy- (in goodwilly adj.) + waught n., by false segmentation of goodwilly in the song Auld Lang Syne (compare goodwilly adj. 3):1796 R. Burns Auld Lang Syne v, in J. Johnson Scots Musical Museum V. 426 We'll tak a right gude-willie-waught [otherwise guid willie-waught] For auld lang syne.The false segmentation may be partly due to the rhythm of the now usual tune (the words have been set to several different tunes over time), and perhaps partly also to association of willie with wally adj.¹ (compare waly-waucht at Forms).

Scottish.

A large gulp of (esp. alcoholic) liquid; a deep or copious draught; a swig.
