"droghte" meaning in All languages combined

See droghte on Wiktionary

Noun [Middle English]

IPA: /ˈdruxt(ə)/, /ˈdruːxt(ə)/, /ˈdruxθ(ə)/, /ˈdruːð(ə)/, /ˈdruːθ(ə)/, /ˈdrɔxt(ə)/ (note: with lowering), /ˈdrɔu̯xt(ə)/ (note: with lowering), /-θ(ə)/ (note: with lowering)
Etymology: From the oblique forms of Old English drūgaþ (and the variant drūgaþe), from dryġe (“dry”); equivalent to drye + -the (abstract nominal suffix). Compare Middle Dutch drôochte, Middle Low German drö̂gede. Notes on phonological development (compare douthe and youthe, which this word's development closely parallels) Forms with /xt/ and /xθ/ result from early syncope in the Old English nominative singular drūgaþ, then levelling of the resulting consonantism to the oblique forms, while forms with /ð/ reflect either later syncope or the consonantism of the oblique forms (from Old English [ɣð]). Finally, forms in /θ/ represent either loss of /x/ or final devoicing of /ð/. Shortening of the long vowel was regular in all variants of this word in Late Old English, either due to the trisyllabicity of inflected forms or because of the following consonant cluster; variants with a long vowel can represent either development of /uɣ/ to /uː/ or lengthening before /x/. In some varieties of Middle English, /u/ was apparently lowered before /x/; standard English does not continue such forms, but they underlie Scots drocht.

  "etymology_text": "From the oblique forms of Old English drūgaþ (and the variant drūgaþe), from dryġe (“dry”); equivalent to drye + -the (abstract nominal suffix). Compare Middle Dutch drôochte, Middle Low German drö̂gede.\nNotes on phonological development (compare douthe and youthe, which this word's development closely parallels)\nForms with /xt/ and /xθ/ result from early syncope in the Old English nominative singular drūgaþ, then levelling of the resulting consonantism to the oblique forms, while forms with /ð/ reflect either later syncope or the consonantism of the oblique forms (from Old English [ɣð]). Finally, forms in /θ/ represent either loss of /x/ or final devoicing of /ð/.\nShortening of the long vowel was regular in all variants of this word in Late Old English, either due to the trisyllabicity of inflected forms or because of the following consonant cluster; variants with a long vowel can represent either development of /uɣ/ to /uː/ or lengthening before /x/. In some varieties of Middle English, /u/ was apparently lowered before /x/; standard English does not continue such forms, but they underlie Scots drocht.",
