Auð-

Significato della parola Old Norse "auð-"

Come definito dal dizionario Old Norse to English di Cleasby & Vigfusson:

auð-

adverbial prefix to a great many adjectives, adverbs, and participles, seldom to subst. nouns, [not found in Ulf.; A. S. eâð, as in eâðmedu, humilitas, and also as a separate adj. eâde. facilis; Old Engl. ‘eath,’ ‘uneath,’ for ‘easy,’ ‘uneasy;’ Hel. ôð and ôði, facilis, unôði, difficilis], easy, opp. to tor-. To this ‘aud’ and not to ‘old’ may perhaps be referred some of the compds of aud and awd in Scottish and provincial English. Thus ‘audie’ in Scotch means an easy careless fellow; ‘aud farand,’ or ‘auld farand,’ may both mean easy going: v. the words in Jamieson and the Craven Glossary.
