† wivenadj.

Forms: Middle English wyuen, Middle English wyuene, Middle English wyven, Middle English wyvene; Scottish pre-1700 wyfyne.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymon: wife n.

Etymology: < the genitive plural of wife n., with the ending probably misapprehended as -en suffix¹.In origin the form shows a weak genitive plural ending (the reflex of Old English -ena ) generalized in early Middle English (the regular Old English genitive plural form was wīfa ); compare wife n. Forms 2bβ. . The following example reflects confusion about the ending already in early Middle English (compare wife n. Forms 2bδ. and discussion at that entry):a1300 in W. H. Hart Historia et Cartularium Monasterii Sancti Petri Gloucestriae (1867) III. 70 Reddendo..octo solidos, unam gallinam ad Natale de pretio unius denarii et in vigilia Beatis Johannis Baptistae de Wivenesweddinge, et valet obolum.
