Forms: Middle English–1600s, 1800s– (now U.S.) smolder (1600s smolther), 1500s smoolder, smow(l)der, smoulther, 1500s– smoulder.
Etymology: < smoulder n.During the 17th and 18th centuries both noun and verb fell into disuse, although poets continued to employ the participial adjective smouldering, of which Johnson (1755) says ‘This word seems a participle; but I know not whether the verb smoulder be in use’. The revival of the verb in the 19th cent. was evidently due to Scott.
