freses (s.xiii2)

 
  FEW: Gdf: GdfC: TL: DEAF: DMF: TLF: OED: MED: DMLBS:

The Latin headword in the citation is too badly rubbed to read. The Anglo-Norman gloss should perhaps be considered a plural form of frese1 as its equivalence with the English 'spearwort' (MED spere-wort n.) is questionable.

s. pl.

bot.spearwort
( s.xiii2; MS: s.xiii2 )  freses anglice sperwort  Nov Chir p. 277.16
