gratility|grəˈtɪlɪtɪ|
In the Shakespeare passage the clown's humorous perversion for gratuity; so jocularly used by Scott.
1601Shakes. Twel. N. ii. iii. 27 ..I sent thee sixe pence for thy Lemon, hadst it? Clo. I did impeticos thy gratillity. 1829Scott Jrnl. 5 June, Cadell lent me {pstlg}10 ― funny enough, after all our grand expectations, for Croesus to want such a gratility. |
