† amurderv.

Forms:

α. Old English amyrðrian, early Middle English amorþre, early Middle English amurðere, early Middle English amurðri (south-west midlands), Middle English amorther.

β. late Old English amyrdred (past participle, perhaps transmission error).

Origin: Apparently a word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Apparently cognate with or formed similarly to Middle High German ermurderen , ermorderen (also as ermurderōn ) < the Germanic base of or- prefix (compare a- prefix¹) + the Germanic base of murder v. Compare Middle Dutch hermoorden , Middle Low German ermōrden , Middle High German ermorden , ermörden , ermurden , ermürden (German ermorden ), apparently showing similarly prefixed forms of a verb derived < the ultimately related Germanic base of morth n. (compare e.g. Old High German murden to murder). Perhaps compare also Old English ofmyrþrian to murder (compare a- prefix⁴).With late Old English amyrdred (see β. forms) compare later β. forms at murder v. and see the discussion of the β. forms at murder n.¹ and int. For Old English amyrred , past participle (compare the earlier manuscript readings cited in quot. lOE) see amar v. In use as past participle in Middle English perhaps partly also a variant of ymorthred , past participle of murder v. (compare a- prefix² 2).

Obsolete.

transitive. To murder. Also figurative.
