Definitions and meaning of tiding

tiding

Alternative forms

  • tidind (dialectal)
  • tidinde (obsolete)

Etymology

From a merger of Middle English tiding, tidinge, from Late Old English tīdung, with Middle English tidinde, tidende, from or influenced by Old Norse tíðindi (“news, tidings”), both connected to Old English tīdan (“to befall; happen”). Though it is sometimes assumed that the form in -ind/-end is original and later assimilated to -ing, the cognates Dutch tijding and German Zeitung point to inheritance from Proto-West Germanic *tīdungō. By surface analysis, tide (“time”) +‎ -ing.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈtaɪdɪŋ/

Noun

tiding (plural tidings)

  1. (archaic or literary, usually in the plural) news; new information
    • c. 1515–1516, published 1568, John Skelton, Againſt venemous tongues enpoyſoned with ſclaunder and falſe detractions &c.:
      For men be now tratlers and tellers of tales;
      What tidings at Totnam, what newis in Wales,
      What ſhippis are ſailing to Scalis Malis?
      And all is not worth a couple of nut ſhalis.
