[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


"Sickness; disease". The OED has it dying out in the 15th century. Not to be confused with addle, which has a different derivation: EEBO hits for "adle" are either variant spellings of addle as in "adle brained" or stuff like "cocke adle luddle" for cock-a-doodle-doo. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 14:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
