单词 adread
释义

adreadadj.

Brit. /əˈdrɛd/, U.S. /əˈdrɛd/
Forms: early Middle English adræd, early Middle English adreit (south-west midlands), Middle English adrade, Middle English adrede, Middle English–1500s adradde, Middle English–1500s adredde, Middle English–1600s adred, Middle English–1600s 1800s adrad, 1500s– adread; also Scottish pre-1700 addred, pre-1700 addrede, pre-1700 adred, pre-1700 adreid.
Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: English *adrad , ofdrad , ofdread v.
Etymology: < *adrad, variant of ofdrad, past participle of ofdread v. Compare later adread v.2Distinct in meaning from the (formally identical) past participle of adread v.1, which has the meaning ‘feared’ (compare e.g. quots. c1400, a1450 at adread v.1 1a), but use of this variant was perhaps reinforced by association with that verb. In later use in form adrad only in the works of William Morris (1834–96).
Now rare (archaic and poetic in later use).
In predicative use. Frightened, terrified, in dread; greatly afraid of (also at, to do) something.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Middle Dutch onttrāden , ontrāden , ontrēden (however, compare Old Dutch anadrādan ), Old Saxon antdrādan , andrādan , andrēdan , Old High German intrātan , indrātan (Middle High German entrāten ), apparently < the Germanic base of and- prefix + the Germanic base of dread v. (although see discussion at dread v.). Compare adread v.2 and adread adj. and discussion at those entries.With the α forms compare β. forms at and- prefix; the reduction of the prefix shown by the β forms is attested from the mid 10th cent. onwards (see discussion at and- prefix and compare a- prefix1). In the Rushworth Gospels, the prefix is occasionally written with the Tironian note, which should probably be interpreted here as on- rather than ond- (compare discussion at and conj.1); the examples could alternatively be analysed as showing and conj.1 followed by (unprefixed) dread v. (compare Dict. Old Eng. at drǣdan). In Old English a strong verb of Class VII, belonging to a small subgroup derived from Germanic verbs whose past tense was formed by reduplication (see A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §746, and compare discussion at read v.). This pattern is shown by the Anglian past tense form ondreord (Northumbrian also ondreard with unrounding of the diphthong); see Forms 2aα. Τhe form perhaps shows simplification of the expected final consonant group drd and subsequent breaking of e before the resulting consonant group rd ; compare Anglianreord , past tense of read v. Strong past tense forms such as ondrēd, adrēd (see Forms 2aβ, 2aγ) shows assimilation to non-reduplicative Class VII verbs; compare Middle Dutch ontriet, onttrit, Old Saxon antdrēd, andried, Old High German intriat (Middle High German entriet). Occasional spellings such as ondræd, adræd for the past tense are perhaps partly inverted spellings for long ē by non-West Saxon scribes, but may also show confusion with the weak past tense and past participle which develop in late West Saxon (see Forms 2b and 3b). Strong forms survive into early Middle English in late copies of material of Old English composition; the late Middle English past tense adred apparently continues the earlier weak form adredde (with early Middle English shortening of the stem vowel before the double consonant).
Obsolete.
1.
a. transitive. To dread; to fear (someone or something) greatly. Frequently with clause as object.In Old English frequently with reflexive dative and with object in the accusative or the genitive (cf. quots. OE2, OE3); cf. also quot. a1350.
