O.N. _anda_, Norse _anda_, breathe, M.E. _anden_. ERD, _vb._ to bury. Dunbar, F., 372; Douglas, II, 266, 10; Bruce, XX, 291. O.N. _jarða_, to bury, O. Sw. _iorþa_. O.E. _eardian_ meant "to dwell, inhabit." See further Wall. A case of borrowed meaning, the form is Eng. ERDING, _sb._ burial. Bruce, IV, 255; XIX, 86. See _erd_ vb. ESPYNE, _sb._ a long boat. Bruce, XVII, 719. O.N. _espingr_, a ship's boat, Sw. _esping_. ETTIL, ETIL, _sb._ aim, design. Douglas, II, 249, 13; II, 254. See _ettil_ vb. ETLYNG, _sb._ aim, endeavor, intention. Bruce, II, 22; I, 587; R.R., 1906. Probably a deriv. from _ettle_, see below, but cp. O.N. _etlun_, design, plan, intention. ETTLE, ETTIL, _vb._ to intend, aim at, attempt. O.N. _ætla_, intend, O. Dan. _ætlæ_, ponder over, Norse _etla_, intend, determine, or get ready to do a thing. Cu. _ettle_, York, _attle_. In Isaiah, LIX, colophon, _ettle_ signifies "means, have the meaning." FALOW, _vb._ to match, compare. R. R., 3510. Also the regular form of the sb. in Sco., O.N. _félagr._ See Skeat, B-S under _fēlaȝe._ The Sco. vowel is long as in O.N. and M.E. The tendency in Sco. is toward _a_ in a great many words that have _e_ in Eng. Cp. Aberdeen _wast_ for _west_; _laft_ for _left_; _stap _ for _step_; _sattlit_ for _settled_, S. Sco. _wat_ for _wet_. Similar unfronting of the vowel is seen in _prenciple_, _reddance_, _enterdick_. FANG, _vb._ to catch, seize. O.N. _fanga_, to fetch, capture. Norse _fanga_, Dan. _fange_. This word in Northern England and Scotland is to be regarded as a Scand. loan-word. The word _fangast_, a marriageable maid, cited by Wall, proves this. Literally the word means something caught (cp. Norse _fangst_). This meaning could not possibly have arisen out of the O.E. word, but is explained by the Norse use of it and the peculiar Norse custom, cp. _fanga kǫnu_, to wed a woman, _kvan-fang_, marriage, _fangs-tið_, wedding-season, Norse _bryllöp_ < _brudlaup_, the "bride-run." Wall suggests that it may come from the root of O.E. pp. _gefangen_. Its presence in S.Eng. diall. in the meaning "to struggle, to bind," may be explained in this way. FARANDNESS, _sb._ comeliness, handsomeness. R.R., 1931. See _farrand_. Cp. _cunnandness_, from pr. p. _cunnand_. FARRAND, _adj._ appearing, generally well-appearing, handsome, e.g., _a seemly farrand person_. The word frequently means "fitting, proper," O.N. _fara_, to suit, to fit, a secondary sense of _fara_, to go.
