† derve, v. Obs. Forms: 1 deorfan, 2–4 derue(n; pa. tense 3 derfde, 4 deruede; pa. pple. 3 idoruen, idorve, iderued, 4 deruet. [ME. derven str. and weak; the str. vb. app. = OE. deorfan (pa. tense dearf, durfon, pa. pple. dorfen) to labour: besides this there probably existed a causal weak vb. dierfan (dierfde) to cause to labour, afflict, grieve; confusion of this with the strong vb., as in burn, etc. would account for the ME. forms and sense. OE. deorfan was app. cognate with the stem of OFris. forderva, and OLFrankish fardurvon, transl. ‘perierunt’ Ps. lxxii. 19.] 1. intr. To labour. (Only in OE.)
