RFV discussion: January–March 2021

[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.


Sense: “(obsolete) to execute (an action, condition, obligation, etc.)”. Tagged by 2a01:cb11:58d:2e00:d867:fe02:7663:ab0 on 30 January, not listed. J3133 (talk) 10:49, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I managed to find and add two citations before Google locked me out for "unusual traffic". I will try again later. Kiwima (talk) 19:39, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
I have removed the first citation because the source has “ſease” with a long s, not “fease”. In the remaining citation the scare quotes make clear that this is a nonce back-formation from feasance.  --Lambiam 21:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
