amad

Middle English

Alternative forms

Etymology

Formed as if a- + mad. However, this word is attested before mad (which largely displaces it in the later language), which might be an aphetic form of it; in this case, it would be a modification of Old English ġemǣdd with a different prefix.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /aˈmad/, /aˈmɛd/

Adjective

amad (inflected form amadde) (Early Middle English)

  1. Mad, insane, deranged; not of sound mind.
