† obleyn. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French obblé, oblee. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman obblé, oblé, oblei, obleie, oblié, oublé, ubblé, ublé, ublee, ublei, ubleie and Old French, Middle French oblee, obleie, oublee, ublee , Middle French oblye , Middle French, French oublie , †oblie communion wafer (c1200), light pastry (end of 12th cent.; a1105 as oblede ) < post-classical Latin oblata light pastry (9th cent.), offering, communion wafer (6th cent.; from 8th cent. (frequently from 11th cent.) in British sources; see note), use as noun of feminine singular of classical Latin oblātus , past participle of offerre offer v. Compare oflete n., oblata n.2, and forms cited at those entries.Post-classical Latin oblata (feminine singular) may represent a re-interpretation of post-classical Latin oblata (neuter plural) in the same sense (4th cent.), spec. use (in sacred contexts) of classical Latin oblāta offerings. Some of the following forms in the Germanic languages are probably < Old French oblee , but others are probably rather < post-classical Latin oblagia , oblagium , oblegium gift, offering, especially offering of food (perhaps 9th cent.; < ancient Greek εὐλογία eulogy n., in Hellenistic Greek also in sense ‘gift’ (Septuagint)), and the two types are difficult to distinguish. Compare Middle Dutch oblie , oblye , hoblye , obelie , oveleye (Dutch oblie rolled wafer; probably < French) beside Middle Dutch ouwel , uwel (Dutch ouwel , (regional) ovele , ovelée wafer), Old Saxon oflige , ofelege , ovelege , ovelegge (Middle Low German ōveleye , ōveleyge , ōvenleye ), Old High German oblegi , obelagi , oblei (Middle High German oblei , obleie , German †Oblei ). The post-classical Latin forms obliga (mid 11th cent.), obleta (in an undated text in Du Cange), etc., are perhaps after Old French. The English forms oblete , oblett show remodelling either after post-classical Latin, or independently after oflete n. N.E.D. (1902) gives the pronunciation as (ǫ·bli) /ˈɒblɪ/.
