"rædan" meaning in Old English

See rædan in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /ˈræː.dɑn/
Etymology: From a merger of two verbs, which came to be pronounced the same in the present tense and the infinitive due to regular sound change: * Proto-West Germanic *rādan, from Proto-Germanic *rēdaną (“to advise”, strong verb) * Proto-West Germanic *raidijan, from Proto-Germanic *raidijaną (“to make ready”, weak verb). The past tense form reordon preserves the zero-grade reduplicated plural stem *re-rd-un.
