† startfulmoodadj.

Forms: early Middle English stertful-mod.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: start n.², -ful suffix, mood n.¹

Etymology: Apparently < start n.² + -ful suffix + mood n.¹ Compare later startful adj.Quot. ?a1300 has been alternatively interpreted as showing two separate words, startful adj. and a dubiously attested Middle English adjective mōd proud, haughty, derived from mood n.¹ (compare sense 2a at that entry); however, the alliterative pattern of the line, as well as the many compound adjectives in Old English and Middle English formed on mood n.¹ (e.g. dreary-mood at dreary adj. Compounds, longmood adj. at long adj.¹ and n.¹ Compounds 4a, sorry-mood adj., etc.), make this unlikely.

Obsolete. rare.

Apparently: capricious; impulsive; erratic.
