amad
Middle English
Etymology
Formed as if a- + mad. However, this word is attested before mad (which largely displaces it in the later language), which might be an aphetic form of it; in this case, it would be a modification of Old English ġemǣdd with a different prefix.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /aˈmad/, /aˈmɛd/
Adjective
amad (plural and weak singular amadde) (Early Middle English)
