Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: canker n., -ed suffix²; canker v., -ed suffix¹.

Etymology: Partly < canker n. + -ed suffix², and partly < canker v. + -ed suffix¹. Compare Anglo-Norman cancré , chancré cancerous, festering (13th cent. or earlier). Compare later cancered adj.In Middle English form ycancred (see quot. a1398 at sense 1) with prefixation after past participle forms in y- prefix. Rhyme evidence shows that the form cancerd in quot. 1593 at sense 4 was pronounced with a hard /-k-/. In a few other instances where the spelling is ambiguous (e.g. quot. 1618 at sense 2) examples have been assigned here rather than to cancered adj. on semantic grounds, although the possibility remains that they may instead show the latter word in otherwise unattested senses.

1. Of a wound, sore, part of the body, etc.: affected with canker or a canker; of the nature of or relating to (a) canker; infected, festering; gangrenous. Now English regional.
