† meeredadj.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mere adj.², -ed suffix¹; mere v.², -ed suffix¹.

Etymology: Origin and sense uncertain. Perhaps < mere adj.² + -ed suffix¹, with the sense ‘sole, entire’; or perhaps < mere v.² + -ed suffix¹, with the sense ‘delimited, bounded’. Wells and Taylor ( William Shakespeare: a Textual Companion (1987) 552; following Johnson) prefer to emend the text to mooted (see mooted adj.¹), although this word is not otherwise attested until 1650.

Obsolete. rare.

Perhaps: sole, entire (also explained as: delimited, bounded).
