resiegev.
Misreading by Johnson (1755) of reseized, past participle of reseize v. (in Spenser Faerie Queene ii. x. 45), as reseiged (see quot. 1590 at sense 2 at that entry for correct reading); defined by him (at Resiege) as ‘To seat again. Obsolete’.Corrected by Todd (1818), but retained in some later dictionaries.
