† eavesv.

Forms: early Old English oefsian (in derivatives), Old English æfesian (in prefixed forms), Old English efesian, Old English efisian (in prefixed forms), Old English efosode (past tense, rare), Old English efsian, Old English efysian (rare), early Middle English efsie, early Middle English euesie, early Middle English i-eueset (past participle), Middle English euese, Middle English evese, Middle English evesy, Middle English i-euesid (past participle).

Origin: Apparently either (i) formed within English, by conversion. Or (ii) a word inherited from Germanic. Etymon: eaves n.

Etymology: Apparently < eaves n. or its Germanic base. Compare Old Icelandic efsa to cut off (a person's hair) (in an isolated attestation in verse). Compare eavesing n.The assumed semantic development of the verb is from an earlier unattested meaning ‘to cut the thatch at the eaves of a building’ (compare eaves-knife n. at eaves n. Compounds 2). Old Icelandic efsa appears not to be directly cognate with the Old English verb, as the connection would pose phonological problems; it has been suggested that it may show a borrowing from Old English. In Old English the following prefixed forms are attested: aefesian to cut off (hair) (compare a- prefix¹), beefesian to cut off the hair of (a person), to tonsure (compare be- prefix), misefesian to cut (hair) amiss (compare mis- prefix¹).

Obsolete.

transitive. To cut, clip, or trim (a person's hair, a tree, etc.); to cut short the hair of (a person). Also occasionally intransitive.
