stranghende
Old English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Only attested in a single passage by Ælfric, translating the Latin phrase fortis manum. It is impossible to know whether Ælfric coined the word on the spot or it was already in use. Given the commonness of the suffix -hende, it could have been a very natural construction, being coined many times independently when the occasion arose in idiomatic speech. Equivalent to strang + -hende.
