"issue" meaning in Middle English

See issue in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /iˈsiu̯(ə)/, /iˈʃiu̯(ə)/, /ˈisiu̯(ə)/ (note: with stress retraction), /ˈiʃiu̯(ə)/ (note: with stress retraction)
Etymology: Borrowed from Old French issue (“exit”), from issu, past participle of issir, eissir. Compare issen. Forms with /ʃ/ mostly do not reflect palatalisation of /s/ (as in modern English); instead, they exist because Old French /s(s)/ was perceived as being phonetically closer to Middle English /ʃ/ than to /s/.

  "etymology_text": "Borrowed from Old French issue (“exit”), from issu, past participle of issir, eissir. Compare issen.\nForms with /ʃ/ mostly do not reflect palatalisation of /s/ (as in modern English); instead, they exist because Old French /s(s)/ was perceived as being phonetically closer to Middle English /ʃ/ than to /s/.",
