_Dangerous of_, 146. Fearful of [showing], or, as some say it is in
Chaucer, shy.
_Detected_, 27. Uncovered.
_Determination_, 153. Termination, or ending.
_Detracting_, 94. Drawing out, spinning out.
_Dilection._ A choosing, preferring, loving.
_Diriges_, 439. Dirges; a word derived from the Latin _dirige_.
_Disagreeable to_, 98. Disagreeing with, differing from.
_Dish, laid in my_, 130. For me to chew upon.
_Dismembred_, 313. There being no talk of the members of an animal
being taken away, I take it that he means diversely membered from
what it was naturally, as was the serpent with “manie legs”.
_Dizzards_, 291. Evidently fool or blockhead. That it was a name
for the vice or fool of a play is by no means a proof of its prater
or diseur origin, for he was not so much a prater as a funny lout
who bore himself apishly, and “moved his body as him list”. Rather
cognate to dizzy.
_Donee_, 148. Noted as an early use of the word.
_Doubt in_, 482; _doubted_, 6. Two excellent examples of the then
frequent use of these words for fear and feared.
_Duplex s. s._, 282. Should have been duplicis, but the writer
probably thought that this would be liable to a misrendering.
S[piritus] S[ancti] is of course meant.
