suffrauntement (s.xiii2/4)

 
  FEW:  sufferre *12,401a Gdf:  soufranment 7,504c GdfC: TL: sofrir (sofranment) 9,736 DEAF:  sofrir (*)  DMF: TLF: OED:  suffrant adj. (suffrantly)  MED: DMLBS:

The reading suffrauntement is rejected by the editor in favour of suffraument as the line is hypermetric. He suggests the form has been affected by repentement on the following line. The reading is restored here as the form, as a regular adverbial derivative of the adjective suffrant may be a creation for the rhyme.

adv.

patiently, tolerantly
( s.xiii2/4; MS: s.xivIN )  Tut atend il (=God) mult suffrauntement  (ed. suffraument) K'um revient a repentement  Corset ANTS 1737
