Old English
Etymology
From dyrst + -lǣċan. The first element (also seen in dyrstiġ) is attested with the meaning of "tribulation", but probably also carried the meaning of "audacity" (compare Old High German gaturst, which glosses Latin audācia).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈdyrst.læː.t͡ʃɑn/, [ˈdyrˠst.læː.t͡ʃɑn]
Verb
dyrstlǣċan
Usage notes
- The prefixed derivative ġedyrstlǣċan is much more common.
