▪ II. † aˈdaw, v.² Obs.
[First used by the archaists of the 16th c.; derivation uncertain. Probably the obsolete adverb adawe (see next), in such a phrase as ‘they did him adawe,’ i.e. out of life, to death, was mistaken for a verb infinitive, quasi ‘to quell, crush, put down,’ and this in subsequent use fancied to be a compound of awe, after the analogy of ad-apt, ad-minister, ad-vow; see ad- 2.]
