Definitions and meaning of met

met

Pronunciation

  • enPR: met, IPA(key): /mɛt/

Etymology 1

Verb

met

  1. simple past tense and past participle of meet

Etymology 2

Verb

met

  1. (obsolete) simple past tense and past participle of mete (to measure)

Etymology 3

From Middle English meten (“to dream, see in a sweven”), from Old English mætan (“to dream”).

Verb

met (no third-person singular simple present, no present participle, simple past met, no past participle)

  1. (obsolete) To dream.
    • c. 1653, William Cartwright, The Ordinary
      All night me met eke that I was at Kirke.
Usage notes
  • Met is a defective, impersonal verb, and as such it only occurs in the past tense, for example:
Me met that I was walking in a wondrous wood where a thousand wild wolfins live. (I dreamt that I was walking in a wondrous forest where a thousand wild she-wolves live)
  • In Old English and Middle English this verb was not defective and was used both personally and impersonally. However, in northern rural dialects, where it is still in use, this verb only occurs in the past tense and in impersonal constructions.
