释义

overholdv.

Forms: see over- prefix and hold v.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: over- prefix, hold v.
Etymology: < over- prefix + hold v. Compare ofhold v.A spurious example of Old English oferhealdan in sense 1b is provided by the antiquary and Anglo-Saxon scholar William Lambarde ( Archaionomia (1568) f. 57v) from a legal text denominated Æðelstan's Almsgiving by F. Liebermann and accepted by him as a genuine transcript of a lost manuscript (see Gesetze der Angelsachsen (1903) I. 148: Gif se gereafa ðis oferheald[e], gebete xxx scill.). However, this text has since been shown to be a 16th-cent. translation into Old English of the Latin Quadripartitus, probably by Laurence Nowell, the eminent Anglo-Saxon scholar and Lambarde's friend and teacher (see K. Sisam Stud. Hist. Old Eng. Lit. (1953) 232–58, and further P. Wormald ‘The Lambarde Problem’ in J. Roberts et al. Alfred the Wise (1997) 237–75).
