sprytten

== Middle English == === Alternative forms === sprutten, sputten === Etymology === From a combination of Old English spryttan (from Proto-West Germanic *spruttjan) and Old Norse spretta (from Proto-Germanic *sprantijaną, thus a doublet of sprenten). For the loss of /r/ in some forms, compare the development of speken from Old English sprecan. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈspritən/, /ˈsp(r)utən/ === Verb === sprytten (third-person singular simple present sprytteth, present participle spryttende, first-/third-person singular past indicative sprytte, past participle spryt) (chiefly Early Middle English) To sprout or germinate. To rile up; to incite. (rare) To jump; to spring. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Descendants ==== English: sprit, spirt, spurt Scots: spret, sprit ==== References ==== “spritten, v.(1).”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007. “spritten, v.(2).”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007. “sputten, v.”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007.
