many, while more remained the comp. of much" (Herford).

'too open or ready'. The two words became confused, hence the modern meaning 'forward, impudent'.

moon-calf (ii. 2. 100), an abortion, a monstrosity, a person or conception influenced by the moon.

mow (ii. 2. 9), make grimaces. F. moue, a mouth, a pouting face. O. Du. mouwe, the protruded underlip in making a grimace.

murrain (iii. 2. 76), a plague. M. E. moreine, allied to O. F. morine, a carcass of a beast< O.F. morir, to die<Lat. mori.

nerves (i. 2. 483), sinews, muscles. This is the usual sense of the word in E. E., whereas sinew in E. E. often corresponds with Md. E. nerve <Lat. nervum.

ninny (iii. 2. 60), simpleton < Ital. ninno, a child.

nonpareil (iii. 2. 95), a matchless creature. The adj. used as subs. F.non-not, and pareil=like.

owes (i. 2. 406), owns, possesses. O. E. ág, ah, 'possess'. The modern sense arises from the notion of obligation, regarded as attaching to a man, like a possession.

pard (iv. 1. 256), panther.

passion (i. 2. 391; iv. 1. 143), strong emotion of any kind. The word is not confined in E.E. to its modern sense of 'anger', but, like the Lat. passio and Gk. πάθος, ἐς used for the 'suffering' of any vehement feeling.

patch (iii. 2. 60), paltry fellow, fool. Probably a nickname derived from the fool's patch-like or motley dress. Cf. Midsummer-Night's Dream, iv. 1. 215: "man is but a patched fool." Wright, however, connects it with Italian pazzo, 'a fool' or 'idiot.

pertly (iv. 1. 58), briskly. Pert in M.E. is another form of perk (adj.), smart; but in some cases it is short for apert, as in F. malapert, from Lat. male + apertus,

pied (iii. 2. 60), parti-coloured. Used of Trinculo because of the motley dress which he wore as jester. <Pie, a magpie, Lat. pica. pioned (iv. 1. 64). See note. Poor-John (ii. 2. 26), hake, salted, and dried.

premises (i. 2. 123), conditions previously made. O.F. premisse, <Lat. praemissa (sententia being understood), 'a condition sent or stated beforehand'.

prevent (i. 2. 350), forestall, and so interfere with. In E.E. the original meaning of the word, 'anticipation', rather than 'interference', is generally predominant. <O.F. prevenir, to come before.

prime (i. 2. 72), first, chief. <Lat. primus.

quaint (i. 2. 317), trim, fine, dainty. O. F. coint < Lat. cognitus, 'well-known'. Used originally='knowing', 'prudent'. A. W. Verity quotes in illustration from Hampole's Psalter, Ps. cxix. 98: "Aboven myn enmys quaynt thou me made", where the A. V. has wiser. But later F. coint, being wrongly supposed to come from Lat. comptus, 'adorned', got the sense 'trim'. This influenced English 'quaint' which got the same sense, in which it is always used by Shakespeare.

rack (iv. 1. 157). See note. rate (i. 2. 92; ii. 1. 103), estimation. < Lat. ratus, p. part. of reor, I think, deem.

renown (v. i. 193), report. M.Ε. renoun or renommee, F. renommé < Lat. re, again, and nomen, name. roarers (i. 1. 16). See note.

sack (ii. 2. 110), a Spanish white wine. Probably a corruption of F. sec, 'dry'. In a Worcester MSS. for 1592 it is spelt seck. In a French version of a proclamation for regulating the prices of wine, 1633, 'sacks'is translated vins secs.

sans (i. 2. 97), without. A French word borrowed in fourteenth century, and originally used in French phrases only, e.g. sans doute; but used in E. E. in combination with English words, e.g. As You Like It, ii. 7. 166: "Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything".

scamels (ii. 2. 159). See note. scandal'd (iv. 1. 90), scandalous; pass. form with active meaning. < Lat. scandalum, Gk. σκάνδαλον, stumbling-block, offence, scandal.

signories (i. 2. 71), states of N. Italy, under the government of single princes, originally owing feudal obedience to the Holy Roman Empire. It. signoria, lordship, government < Lat. senior, older, superior.

sot (iii. 2. 88), fool. O.F. sot. Among the equivalents given for this by Cotgrave are: "asse, dunce, dullard, blockhead, loggerhead, groutnoll, iobernoll, grouthead, ioulthead".

stale (iv. 1. 187), a decoy, a snare. <O.E. stalu, theft.

stover (iv. 1. 63). See note. swabber (ii. 2. 44), one who sweeps the deck with a swab or mop. Connected with Dutch, zwabberen, to drudge.
