/ˈmænˌswɛ(ə)r/, Scottish English

/ˈmanswer/,

Inflections: Past tense manswore; past participle mansworn;

Forms: Old English manswerian, Middle English manesworn (past participle), Middle English mansworn (past participle), Middle English monsuorn (past participle), Middle English–1500s mansworne (past participle), 1500s mansweare, 1500s maynsworn (past participle), 1600s maine-sworn (past participle), 1600s main-sworn (past participle), 1800s– manswear (archaic); English regional (northern) 1600s–1800s mamsworn (past participle), 1600s– mansworn (past participle), 1700s munsworn (past participle), 1800s– mainswear; Scottish pre-1700 mainsuer, pre-1700 manesuorne (past participle), pre-1700 manesweir, pre-1700 mannsuere, pre-1700 maynswere, pre-1700 mean-swear, pre-1700 meinsworne (past participle), pre-1700 1700s– mansweir, pre-1700 1700s– mensweir, 1800s– minswear; Irish English (northern) 1800s– manswear, 1900s– minswear. See also note below.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with Old Swedish mensväria (Swedish †mensvärja ), Old Danish mensværiæ (Danish mensværge ) < the Germanic base of man n.² + the Germanic base of swear v.; compare also Middle Low German mēne swēren . Compare mansware n.Note on forms: Only a selection of the commoner forms is given above, principally to illustrate variation in the first element; for complete historical spelling variation of the second element (especially in past tense and past participle) see swear v. The simplex man n.² (in which long ā would normally have developed into long open ō except in the north) had become obsolete by the middle of the 15th cent., and therefore does not show the wide divergence of development shown by the first element of manswear . See also manswearing n. The word manswear itself seems to have become obsolete in southern English by the mid 15th cent.: all the later occurrences (until the word's reintroduction by archaizing authors in the late 19th cent.) are either in northern or Scottish texts, or (as in the case of Coverdale's Bible) by authors with a northern or Scottish connection, or by authors drawing attention to the word's strangeness to southern speakers (compare quot. 1650 at mansworn adj.).

Now archaic and regional (chiefly Scottish, English regional (northern), and Irish English (northern)).

1. intransitive. To swear falsely. Also transitive with clause as object.
