forout more
c. without more (also Scottish. but more, forout more): without anything or anyone else, in all; (in later use chiefly) without more ado, without delay. without less, without more (also Scottish. but min or more): without addition or diminution; exactly. Obsolete. [These expressions have alternatively been explained as originally showing a shortened form of demore , variant of demur n., or of its Old French etymon (see B. Lindström Middle Eng. withoute(n) More in Notes & Queries (1995) 21–2); if so, the expression was clearly interpreted by at least some Middle English writers as showing the present word, as shown by northern forms in quots. a1400 at sense A. 1a, c1480 at sense A. 1e, c14802.]
