trescement (s.xii1)

[gdw]

[FEW: *3,83b *directiare; Gdf: ; GdfC: ; TL: 10,600 trescement; DEAF:  drecier (*); DMF: ; TLF: ; OED: ; MED: ; DMLBS: ]
 

The word serves as a translation of Latin vestibula (DMLBS 3651c, 'enclosed space at entrance of building, porch, entrance'), but the passage remains opaque. Its intrepretation as a form of drescement with a devoiced initial remains tenative.

s.

1that which has been erected, set up
( s.xii1; MS: 1155-60 )  Que il ne repurpenserent de lur mort, e fermet sunt lur trescement (Latin: firmata sunt vestibula eorum)  127.LXXII.4
