† askoyˈe, aˈskoyne, adv. Obs.
Also 6 ascoye.
[Actual origin uncertain: skoyne seems to be identical with Du. schuin sidewise, oblique; cf. schuinte slope. But see asquint and askew, with which in sense this word is closely allied, and note to askance.]
Sidewise, askew, with sidelong glance, askance. (Always with look.)
