Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English *(tō) wrāþre hǣle.
Etymology: Apparently the reflex of an unattested Old English phrase *(tō) wrāþre hǣle < to prep. + wrāþre , dative singular feminine of wrāþ wroth adj. + hǣle , dative singular of hǣlu heal n. Compare goder-heal adv., goder-heal n., and also (to) evil hele at heal n. 2c, evil hail at hail n.2 2, ill hail at hail n.2 2.Although the dative feminine ending was used rarely and with a very restricted range of lexical items in 13th-cent. texts (compare e.g. the discussion, with examples, in the etymology at all adj.), the phrase was probably still at least partly transparent in earlier Middle English: compare alteration of the second element after hail n.2 in northern sources, as shown by the γ. forms; northern Middle English illerhayle , illir haile , showing alteration of ill hail at hail n.2 2 after the present word; and also the following instance (from a text where the dative singular feminine ending is preserved quite frequently), probably showing insertion of a possessive adjective (if not simply a transmission error: compare quot. c1560 at sense A. 1a):c1275 (?a1200) Laȝamon Brut (Calig.) (1963) l. 247 Mid þræte he spilede. To wroþer heore hele [c1300 Otho to wroþere hele] habbeð heo such werc i-don.The relatively late attestation of the β. forms makes it more likely that they show an alteration after wroth adj. rather than a direct continuation of the original phrase with the usual loss of the dative singular feminine ending. Word division in Middle English examples frequently reflects editorial choices of modern editors of texts, rather than the practice of the manuscripts. The form wroþer hole at α. forms probably shows a reverse spelling for wroþerhale (attested in the same manuscript), itself probably showing alteration after hale adj. (compare hale n.2).
