Talk:chargeant

RFV discussion: August 2022–January 2023
Adjective: "(obsolete) burdensome; troublesome".

Cited to Chaucer. Compare MED, which lists two meanings. All modern English uses I was able to find in a quick search appear to be Irish legal jargon referring to one party in a dispute or contract or something, with the coordinate term being "dischargeant" (both of which are used as nouns). Maybe similar to debtor/creditor. 142.166.21.76 14:11, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * OED has Middle English only for the adjective. It glosses the noun as "One who has a charge upon an estate; = ". This, that and the other (talk) 04:42, 20 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Just noting I added the (attested) noun. - -sche (discuss) 20:02, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed (the challenged adjective; the unrelated later-added noun has two cites). - -sche (discuss) 22:41, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
