▪ I. † orn, ourn(e, v. Obs.
[ME. ourne corresponds in form to an OF. *ourner:—L. ornāre to fit out, equip, adorn; but as the simple vb. is not cited in OF., which had the compound aourner (see adorn), the ME. word was app. either an aphetic form of aourne, or directly from L. with the vowel conformed to ournement, ornament, and the earlier aourne, anourne. It is noticeable that the orig. Wycliffite version of 1382, in the O.T. portion, often has the fuller anourne, enourne, which Purvey changes to ourne. The 15–16th c. orn is conformed to F. orner or L. ornare.]
trans. To adorn, ornament.
