wield
[[English]]
ipa :/wiːld/[Anagrams]
edit
- Wilde, wiled
[Etymology]
editFrom Middle English wēlden, which combines forms from two closely related verbs: Old English wealdan (“to control, rule”) (strong class 7) and Old English wieldan (“to control, subdue”) (weak). The reason for the merger was that in Middle English the -d in the stem made it hard to distinguish between strong and weak forms in the past tense. Both verbs ultimately derive from Proto-Germanic *waldaną (“to rule”).[1]
