Talk:misfeeling

RFV discussion: September 2022–February 2023
Rfv-sense: "(obsolete) insensate". The word appears in Wycliffe's translation of (not to be confused with ) as "mysfelende". 98.170.164.88 02:05, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * It's certainly a Middle English word. MED has it appearing in five separate verses of Wycliffe's Ecclesiasticus: 16:20, 21:21, 22:14, 27:13, 42:8. It appears to also have been a Middle English medical term: Dictionary of Medical Vocabulary in English, 1375–1550 has it under misfeeling/mysfyllynge as "Numbness, lack of physical sensation" and gives a quote from an early 15th century translation of Platearius' Practica brevis. I haven't been able to find the manuscript itself (Cambridge University Library MS Dd.10.44, 18v.) or a transcription of it online. Winthrop23 (talk) 16:26, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It didn't survive into Modern English, right? 98.170.164.88 20:22, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Winthrop23 We are going to delete the sense in the modern English section, but would you mind creating the Middle English language section if you have found evidence to support it? - TheDaveRoss  12:59, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Winthrop23 (talk) 14:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
