LONDON": JOHN WEALE, 59, HIGH HOLBORN. 1861. LONDON BRADBURY AND EVANS, PKINTERS, WHITEFRIARS. «vxu co> PREFACE. Mr. Weale having asked me to undertake a Dictionary of the English language to form part of his Rudimentary and Educa- tional Series, I was tempted "by the opportunity of engaging in such a philological undertaking, and encouraged "by the remem- brance that Xoah Webster began on a small scale a work which has acquired importance as it has grown to large proportions. In a like hope I have been encouraged by the publisher, as I trust I shall be countenanced by his readers ; and this is the chief reward which I can look to for labours which any one can censure and few appreciate, as to which each will indulge his own fancies, and whereto the critic is just as likely to object for what is new and special as for what is erroneous or deficient. Here, too, the very necessities of the work will bring against it many objectors. Its small size, its close print, and its compactness may be topics for blame with those whom its cheapness and the want of a dictionary so copious may nevertheless have tempted to become buyers. There is thus much to discourage an author; and when he thinks of the great labours of those who have devoted themselves to this subject, he may well have misgivings as to his own power to give it a new form or achieve success. A new edition or an abridgment of Johnson or "Webster would indeed in this instance have escaped censure, and might have been more acceptable ; but there are many such reproductions, and they can scarcely be put in a cheaper form to be useful. It is the fault of abridgments that they give the words everybody knows, and do not give the words that are not known or not well known. Then, too, it is to be observed, that the design of this Rudimentary Series is to produce b IV PEEFACE. a set of handbooks, not for schoolboys only, but to which the man of science may refer, as well as the working-man. I was therefore called upon to comply with these conditions by giving a new character to the work, and all I have to regret is that the space has on this occasion been wanting to allow of the necessary development of the plan which I have, as it were, barely sketched. A great merit, and thereby a deficiency in our standard diction- aries, so far as their general use by the population is concerned, is that they are founded on literary considerations, under which a printed authority is required for a word ; the word, too, is criti- cally examined before it is admitted; it may be absolutely rejected, or it may lie for years under the interdict of the censors. This is a merit, so far as a written and printed language is concerned, and is strictly applicable to the dead classical languages ; but it has seemed to me the English language is to be otherwise treated, that the English people require something more than a dictionary of book words. While our literature is to be placed in the highest rank with that of the most celebrated nations, so we have too another learning, it may almost be said another language, to which our political constitution gives no less importance : the words of a Byron, Bulwer, Dickens, Scott, or Cooper may be read by hundreds of thousands ; but the words of a Brougham, Webster, Canning, or Clay sent abroad through the organs of the press are read by millions, and make a no less powerful impression. We may regret that the speeches of Washington, Chatham, or Fox want an appropriate record, but henceforth the reputation of the orator will not depend upon vague rumour nor his influence be bounded by the senate chamber ; for as soon as morning dawns, his thoughts are echoed to a wider audience of his countrymen, the circle spreads beyond the oceans, and he appeals at once to his brethren in England, in America, in Australia, — to a nation of freemen, trained to think, to speak, and to act. It is the growth of the newspaper press which has given this im- portance to the English oral language, the influence of which cannot be long neglected. While the lexicographer is hesitating, weigh- ing, suspending, harshly rejecting, or tardily admitting, a language is being worked out, which will re- act again upon our literature. The periodical press, hardly dignified with the name, much less with the honours of literature, though it embodies some of the most classical compositions in our language, is not accepted as an academic authority; and yet the Times ought to be as eligible an PEEFACE. V authority as some book long since defunct, and only known by its epitaph or the title on its coffin-plate. The periodical press forms nevertheless the connecting link between the written and the spoken language, between the artificial polish of Macaulay and the rude utterance of the boor; and it exercises a veritable influence, the more especially as some recognized literary forms partake more or less of the oral character. Such is immediately the drama, and, to a great degree, as describing actual life, the modern novel of character and dialogue. Apart from philological considerations, the mark of the spoken language, distinguishing it from the written language, is that it lives and breathes instinctive with the inspiration of the moment, receiving new ideas as they are newly born, fresh with the quick growth of an age of rapid progress and teeming invention, xhe new machine or instrument quickly adopted becomes the source of new and ingenious ideas. There is, further, a character of originality appertaining to actual life which impresses itself on our language, and gives to it a vitality and nervousness as contrasted with academic forms. The newspaper article or the novel sometimes partakes too much of colloquial negligence ; on the other hand the rising school of poetry is adopting more vigorous and more national forms from the oral language. When we consider the national habits in our legislature, our courts of law, and even in our public celebrations, and that every freeman is a speaker, good or bad, so the number of speakers is greater than that of writers, nor do the former yield in eminence nor in the importance of their subjects. Under our free constitu- tions legislative and deliberative bodies are in constant session, from the Imperial Parliament and Congress of the United States to the legislatures of Nevis or Rhode Island, from the senate to the wardmote, the parish vestry and the township meeting. In this way all classes are brought together, and a constant exercise of thought is kept up. If the public speaker always adopted the precise forms of the written literature there would be only an extension of its influence ; but that literature has been too long under the domi- nation of artificial models, and has not such immediate reference to the organic character of the English language as to exercise a permanent and absolute supremacy. The spoken language too has become the repository of words slighted or unrecorded, of indigenous forms of speech and idioms unrecognised by the scholastic grammarians, but flourishing in spite of them-— of the VI PREFACE. treasury of traditions, proverbs, folklore, saws, local and personal references, technical terms, and such a medley of thoughts and their signs as are left after twenty centuries of busy existence as a nation. A language on which Home Tooke, Richardson, and Latham could publish what they have is not so well determined in its philological constitution that Murray's Grammar can be accepted as all-sufficient, or even the style of Pope or Johnson be adopted as the infallible models they were once held to be. Guided by these views, and so far as the space allows, the language is here treated of in reference to its spoken as well as its written characteristics, equally as it is exemplified by the news- paper and by the classic authority, and with more particular con- sideration of the requirements of the publicjgenerally rather than of scholars. This work is meant to be a dictionary of the English language as spoken and written, with the most copious vocabulary yet produced, and with the meanings given in words of English or Anglo-Saxon root, rather than of Greek or Latin, as more likely to be understood by working-men and by children. It is intended, too, to be a work for Englishmen in the widest meaning; not one which like that of Johnson shall limit itself to the pro- vincial institutions of England, or, like that of Webster, be called an American dictionary, but one which can be used either in these islands, in the United States, or Australia. Great as is the merit of Webster's book, it is to be regretted that it has a sectional character, whereby an inducement is held out to reproduce John- son's edition, or to compile a dictionary for England, which is now dependent for its best work of reference on this provincial dic- tionary of the New England writer. The motive which inspired him was a worthy one, that of vindicating American objects, but it would have been better had Tie compiled an English instead of an American dictionary. The first edition of this work having been nearly two years going through the press, and the second edition being now required, I have had the opportunity of introducing some improve- ments in the latter part, and likewise of seeing defects, which I can only hope to amend in future editions, for which mate- rials are collecting. In a work embracing so many details, errors are unavoidable, and I shall feel obliged for any communications on this subject. The opportunity has, however, already been taken of correcting several errors in the stereotyped plates. PEEFACE. Vll CONTENTS OF THE DICTIONARY. The chief features of this Dictionary are as follows : — It includes far above a hundred thousand words, and at least sixty thousand more than any dictionary that has yet been published, reckoning the number of words by the same standard as in other dictionaries. The meanings are given by words of English or Anglo-Saxon root, instead of by words of Latin or French stock, which latter are not so well understood by the bulk of the people. The number of additional meanings given for old words and not to be found in other dictionaries will be found to be above ten thousand, and there are many emendations and corrections of the recorded meanings, though for want of space the meanings are here given shortly and indeed by the shortest words. The imperfect tenses and past participles of the verbs are given in their colloquial as well as printed form, although some of them are never written as pronounced. The participles which are used as adjectives are so distinguished, and likewise those which, being only used passively wil^L the verb to be and certain prepositions, are distinguished by me as verbal adjectives^ and which constitute a large class of idiomatic forms. The prepositions used after verbs, participles, adjectives, substantives, and adverbs, and appropriate to them, or modi- fying their meanings, are given generally with the words, whereas even in Webster only a short list of these prepositions will be found in a separate list. The prepositions modifying the meanings of words are given much more copiously than heretofore. The nouns collective and the collective forms of nouns are distinguished for the first time. It has seemed desirable to make this distinction, not only because the collective in ing has been disregarded by philologists, but because the noun collective seldom admits of the plural form, and then only as indicating several collective groups. The compound words are given very copiously, because these words are formed so readily and loosely in English, that very various meanings of the rootword figure among the com- pounds and require explanation. - Where a special meaning is b 2 Vlll PREFACE. not required, the word is sometimes left without explanation appended. Many parts of compounds given separately by "Webster have been omitted, because they do not exist as independent words, though, as this Dictionary is for the purpose of economizing space, arranged to a great extent under roots. Some foreign words have been sparingly admitted for etymological pur- poses, which are not otherwise used. A large number of abbrevations of various kinds has been given, because some occur in English and American news- papers, and others in poetry or in conversation. Words referring to political questions and places have been explained. The number of technical terms is on a large scale, though space has not allowed of full or detailed meanings being given. In spelling, Webster has been chiefly followed ; and generally where a choice is allowable the spelling nearest to the pro- nunciation has been adopted; wherever possible the s has been preferred to c, and the z to s for the z sound. Words beginning with ch, sh, and th are classed as if under distinct letters, though their alphabetical order is not disturbed. Gche expense and incumbrance of marked type to distinguish the several sounds of the vowels and consonants could not here be adopted, but the properties of the initial letters, as of the h still and aspirated, &c, are distinguished. Irregular spellings of medieval and colloquial forms are given where necessary. The accentuation is given in all cases, and it will generally be found that of Webster, except where other authority has pre- vailed here ; but American and other independent accentua- tion, where allowable, has been likewise recorded, as well as those cases of two or three accentuations of equal authority. All provincial words are given which are of English origin, because the prevalence of one dialect as the accepted language does not supersede the philological rights of the other dialects . Simple dialectic variations of spelling are not however recorded unless exceptionally. On the same ground English or Anglo-Saxon words are given which no longer occur in our literature or are used collo- quially, but which are incorporated in the language in the names of persons or places. The object has been to explain every essential part of the language, whether in the folklore PEEFACE. IX of our fathers in Jutland, in the Anglo-Saxon, Anglo- Danish, or Anglo-Norman writings, in the compositions of the middle ages, or those of the latest period and of the pre- sent day. Many names of towns which are spoken otherwise than as they are written are here given. No word has heen rejected as being obsolete ; for such words at any rate require explanation, and they may be revived as the fashions of former ages are reproduced. Words taking a or an before them in exceptional cases, and not usually distinguished, are here noted. The etymological standard adopted has reference to the Frisian and other languages akin to the English rather than to High Dutch or the Scandinavian languages. The Geammae which forms part of this work will be found to have several distinctive features. A sketch has been given of comparative philology and of the philological characteristics of the English language. The relations of nouns substantive are given at considerable extent, and the collective form of the noun is treated as a recognized form. The words are treated in a form suitable to the idioms of the language, the auxiliary and participial relations being fully given. The compound prepositions and pronouns are introduced. The Syntax is more efficiently carried out by the idiomatic relations of the parts of speech being given under the Etymo- logy. The Prosody is founded on a new and practical basis, conform- able to the relations of the language. The Grammar is written as far as may be in words of English root. It is a grammar of the spoken as well as of the written language. In such parts of the Dictionary as are merely compilation I have used Johnson, Webster, Bichardson, and Bosworth. The editions of Webster adopted by me have been those of Mr. Goderich and Mr. Joseph E. Worcester. The other works by which I have been guided to a greater or less extent include among others those of -ZElfric, Ben Jonson, Junius, Camden, Hickes, Spelman, Llwyd, Gibson, Ray, Lowth, Benjamin Franklin, Barretti, Bailey, X PBEFACE. Euddiman, Dilworth, Ashe, Coles, Sheridan, "Wallis, Home Tooke, Walker, Murray, Adelung, Bopp, Grimm, Easke, Zeuss, Jamie- son, Alexander Crombie, Knowles, Cobbett, Prichard, B. Thorpe, Kemble, Latham, Halliwell, D. Booth, and Goold Brown. In the additions made, I have profited by the Penny, National and English Cyclopaedias, Weale's Dictionary of Terms, the Dic- tionary of Mining Terms, and Notes and Queries. Besides previous notes and collections, the additions include those from nojes on the " Times," " New York Herald," and " Punch," and from most of the leading literary and many technical periodicals for some years, as likewise from the works of Dickens, Bulwer, Jerrold, Thackeray, Tennison, Longfellow, Grote, Macaulay, and Bancroft. I am indebted for contributions and assistance to several gentlemen ; among whom I have to offer my thanks to Mr. P. L. Simmonds, Mr. P. E. Barnes, B.A., Mr. W. H. Leeds, the Eev. J. F. Hinde, B.A., and Mr. Edwin Hyde Clarke. These various additions are of a miscellaneous character, con- tributing to the completeness of the work. They embrace words from Folklore, Anglo-Saxon, Anglo - Danish, Anglo-Norman, Medieval, Elizabethan, and Seventeenth Century sources ; — • terms provincial, colloquial, and obsolete, — from the dialeets of London, Kent, the Eastern Counties (three sources), Western Counties (three sources), Midland, North of Trent, New England, Canada, California, West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, China, Spanish America ; — from the French ; — from geology and mineralogy, botany, zoology, bird-fancying, ethnology, medicine ; — terms relating to trades, architecture, building, engineering, military affairs, chemistry, commerce, cookery, — to theology, — to politics, English, American, colonial, foreign, — to the City of London, — to archeology, classical philo- logy, and the fine arts, — to geography, — to new inventions and institutions, as photography, daguerrotyping, gold mining, rail- ways, steam navigation, the electric sciences, mining, joint-stock companies, social economy. USE OF THIS DICTIONAEY. To save space, and compress the large amount of matter within this limited number of pages, it has been needful to resort to every expedient which can effect this ; for more words are included in this Dictionary than there are lines in the book. PEEFACE. XI The root word is divided by a hyphen (-), and of the remaining words belonging to that root only the end syllables are given, as : Sen'ti-ent, n ; — estt, a ; — ently, ad ; — ency, n ; — ment, n. Where a change takes place in the accent or in the root word, a new division, by hyphen (-), is introduced, thus : Sentimental, a; — tally, ad; — talkess, — talism, — tal'ity, n. Where the ruling accent falls on the end syllables, as in Sentimen-tal'ity, the word is not divided afresh. — This mark is used instead of do., to show that a word is repeated for another part of speech, as, Se'eiotjs, a ; — , n ; that is to say, Se'eiotjs, adjective ; Se'eiotjs, noun. The meanings are not repeated after a word when a termina- tional change only takes place, the termination of the meaning being the same as the termination of the word to be explained. Where the meanings are the same or nearly alike, or in words of the same termination, they are not repeated. Thus will be found Se'eiotjs, a earnest ; grave ; solemn ; weighty ; — ly, ad ; — fess, n. These are to be read, Se'eiotjs, adjective, earnest ; grave ; solemn ; weighty. Se'eiotjsly, adverb, earnestly ; gravely ; solemnly ; weightily. Se'eiotjsness, noun substantive, earnestness ; graveness ; so- lemness; weightiness. Thus, too, Seve'ee, a harsh ; sharp; stern; cruel; grave; keen; incle- ment ; — ly, ad ; — ness, Sevee'ity, n. These are to be read, Seve'ee, adjective, harsh ; sharp ; stern ; cruel ; grave ; keen ; inclement. Seve'eely, adverb, harshly ; sharply ; sternly ; cruelly ; gravely ; keenly ; inclemently. Seve'eeness, noun substantive, harshness ; sharpness ; stern- ness ; cruelness ; graveness ; keenness ; inclementness. Sevee'ity, noun substantive, harshness ; sharpness ; stern- ness ; cruelness or cruelty ; graveness or gravity ; keenness ; inclementness. Thus, too, Shape, n form ; make ; model ; figure ; mold ; fashion ; Xll PREFACE. frame ; cast ; suit ; cut ; pattern ; frame of a bonnet ; idea; manner; mold for jellies, &c. ; — , v do. ; adjust; Sha'p-en", — ed, — t, a ; — er, n ; — able, a ; — ing, a ; — lng, n ; Sha'pe-less, a wanting form, &c, or regularity ; — lessness, n ; — ly, a having do. These are to be read, Shape, noun, form ; make ; model ; figure ; mold ; fashion ; frame ; cast ; suit ; cut ; pattern ; frame of a bonnet ; idea ; manner; mold for jellies, &c. Shape, verb transitive and intransitive, form ; make ; model ; figure ; mold ; fashion ; frame ; cast ; cut ; pattern ; frame a bonnet. Sha'pen, adjective, formed ; made ; modeled ; figured ; molded ; fashioned ; framed ; cast ; cut ; patterned. Sha'ped, adjective, formed ; made ; modeled ; figured ; molded ; fashioned ; framed ; cast ; cut ; patterned. Sha'pt, adjective, see Shaped. Sha'per, noun substantive, former ; maker; modeller; figurer; molder ; fashioner ; framer ; caster. Sha'pable, adjective, formable ; makable ; modellable ; figu- rable ; fashionable. Sha'ping, adjective, forming; making; modelling; figuring; molding ; fashioning ; framing ; casting ; cutting. Sha'ping, noun substantive, forming ; making ; modelling ; figuring; molding; fashioning; framing; casting; cutting; patterning ; framing a bonnet. Sha'peless, adjective, wanting form, make, model, figure, mold, fashion, frame, cut, pattern, or manner ; figureless ; fashionless. Sha'pelessness, noun substantive, wantingness of form, figure, mold, fashion, frame, cut, pattern, or manner; figure- lessness ; fashionlessness. Sha'pely, adjective, having form, make, model, figure, mold fashion, frame, cut, pattern, or manner. Where a word is both noun substantive and adjective, it is sometimes marked n, a, without being repeated. v, verb. A verb that is both transitive and intransitive is marked v without transitive and intransitive being repeated ; verbs that are only transitive or intransitive are so distinguished. Where the imperfect and past participle end in ed, they are PREFACE. Xlll not distinguished ; but where otherwise formed, they are given in a parenthesis after the verb, as, Run (ran, run), v ; that is to say, imperfect Ran, past participle Run ; Shape (sha'ped, sha'ped or sha'pen) v ; that is to say, imperfect Sha'ped, past participle Sha'ped or Sha'pen. Where the imperfect and past participle are the same, one form only is used, as, Set (set) ; that is to say, imperfect Set, past participle Set. The participles of verbs, whether past or present, that are used as adjectives or nouns, are marked simply as adjectives or nouns, and not as participles, as Ruf'eled, Set, Set'ting, Run'ning. Prepositions, The prepositions used idiomatically with sub- stantives, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs, are placed after them in brackets, as, Rule [ — over, — with, — by] ; Fond'ness [ — for] ; Deli'ght [ — in] ; Ru'mor [ — about] ; S a'cked [ — to ] ; Save [ — from, — by, — in] ; Talk [ — about, — of, — with, — to] ; Tal'ly [ — with] ; Unchanged [ — by] ; Uncon'scious [ — of]. The prepositions used with the root word will generally apply to the derived words. "Where the prepositions modify the meanings of words, they are put after them in italics, as* Take, — about, carry about, &c. Italics are used for two purposes : — 1. To mark foreign words, as, Vascula'res, Syrin'ga. 2. To mark idiomatical expressions, as, Take about ; Take advantage of; Take oath; By threes, three at a time, &c. Accentuation, The accent on the vowel signifies that the sound is as of a in ale, e in sere, i in wine, o in bone, u in cure, y in by. The words are in many cases arranged under their roots or leading components ; and this is shown by their being indented, as, Rud, n redness ; blush ; ruddle. Rud ; dt, a reddish, &c. Rud'dle, n red ocher. Rud'dock, n redbreast. Scinti'lla, n spark ; particle. Scintillate [ — with], vi sparkle, &c. Telephonic, a conveying sound far off. Tel'escope, n optical instrument for seeing afar. XIV PEEFACE. Aspiration and use of the Article. "Words beginning with H and which take an before them are distinguished by a mark, Words beginning with U long, En, or Ea, and which take a before them, are distinguished by a mark.
