"amad" meaning in Middle English

See amad in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /aˈmad/, /aˈmɛd/ Forms: amadde [plural], amadde [singular, weak]
Etymology: Formed as if a- + mad. However, this word is attested before mad (which largely displaces it in the later language), which might be an aphetic form of it; in this case, it would be a modification of Old English ġemǣdd with a different prefix.
