Poetic vocabulary In epic poems such as Beowulf (many compounds): warrior = rinc, mecʒ, se cʒ, freca; compounds: beodo-rinc (battle hero) here-rinc (army hero), etc. The notion of ‘sword’= battle sword, battle friend. The notion of harp: joy wood, joy beam, etc.  

 

The Middle English Development of Vocabulary

 

Vocabulary developed in the ME period both by internal processes and by borrowing words and word-building morphemes from other languages.

In the sphere of internal development we may note such factors as deriving new words by means of affixation (e.g. brotherhood), and development of meaning in accordance with developments in social life: for example, the OE substantive cniht, which meant boy, servant, acquired in ME (spelt knight) the meaning ‘ knight’; the OE word sellan ‘give’ had its meaning narrowed to ‘sell’, that is ‘give for money’.
