wantyn.Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: womb n., tie n. Etymology: < womb n. + tie n. Compare wame-tow n.With the α. and β. forms compare the α. forms at womb n. and (with occasional northern uses) also wame n.; the α. forms also show assimilation of the nasal to the following dental. This word was never common in northern English and is apparently absent from Older Scots; in both the usual word is wame-tow n. (with a distinct but ultimately related second element). With the form wantyth and occasional northern and Scots uses of wantye and wanty in the 19th and 20th centuries compare the discussion at wame-tow n. Surv. Eng. Dial. records the word (in sense 1; compare quots. 1952, 1967) from Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex, Essex, Berkshire, and Hampshire. the world > food and drink > farming > animal husbandry > general equipment > [noun] > harness of draught animal > belly-band 1295 (P.R.O.: DL 41/388) m. 1 In veteri granario..Item corde de canabo pro Wanteyes ad carectas .vj. 1702 F.
