They probably had in mind some variation of one of the seven senses and subsenses that MWOnline has, didn't think our single sense covered it, and did the best they could. Blame falls on our not having fully defined this word, not even retaining all three Webster 1913 senses. DCDuring TALK 15:07, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
