astrayadv.

Brit. /əˈstreɪ/, U.S. /əˈstreɪ/
Forms: Middle English o strai, Middle English on stray, Middle English on the straye, of stray; Middle English astreyey, a-strayey; Middle English a-stray, 1500s astraie, astraye, astraigh, Middle English– astray.
Etymology: Already in 14th cent. often written o stray , on stray , of stray , as if < a prep.1 + stray n.; but of stray as a separate noun no early instances have been found; so that astray was perhaps originally the Old French past participle estraié , estrayé , ‘strayed’ (see astray v., and compare the southern form astrayey , 1380) with -e lost (first in the north), used as a predicative adjective, and thence as an adverb, and confused with forms like a-float , a-sleep , a-loft . As adjective the simple stray n. is now used: compare alive, live (fish), asquint, squint (eyes).
1. Out of the right way, away from the proper path, wandering.
