And isnt the [wife] in brackets meant to be a gloss, rather than an omitted word? See our note on talk:kicksy-wicksy. It's a noun, not an adjective, at least according to the compiler of that transcript. We probably need to rewrite the definition altogether and pattern it after kicky-wicky, or even make it a synonym of that. But this doesnt answer the question of whether other people besides Shakespeare have used the form with the s. —Soap— 15:12, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
