† wanlacen.

Forms: Also Middle English wanlas(e, wenlace, Middle English–1500s wanles(s: and see windlass n.²

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman wanelace, wenelaz (12–13th cent.), recorded in the figurative sense ‘deception, fraudulent device’. As the word does not occur in continental French, it is not unlikely that it may be a Norman mispronunciation of some native English word. In the 16th cent. wanlace was superseded by windlass n.², but it is not clear whether this was a survival of the native form or an etymologizing alteration of the Anglo-Norman word. Latinized forms of the word, in the original hunting sense, are wenelacia and wanlassum (in Du Cange erroneously waulassus). The phrase fugare wanlassum was used for ‘to drive back the game’.

Obsolete.

1. Hunting. A circuit made by a portion of a hunting party for the purpose of intercepting and heading back the game. Hence, an appointed station in hunting, = trist n.², tristre n., medieval Latin stabulum.
