eten (third-person singular simple present eteth, present participle etynge, first-/third-person singular past indicative et, past participle eten)

1. To eat, devour.
2. To consume or have a meal.
   • c. 1390 [c. 1225], “Introduction”, in Þe roule of reclous (Ancrene Wisse, Bodleian MS. Eng. poet. a. 1)‎, Worcestershire, folio 371, verso; republished at Oxford: Digital Bodleian, 2019 January 10:

     Þe oþ᷑ rule is al woutẽ. ⁊ ruleþ þe bodı⹎ ⁊ bodılıche deden. þat techeþ al hou me ſchal beren hĩ wıþ outen. How. eten. How drınken. weren. syngen. slepen. waken.

     The other rule is entirely external; it governs the body and bodily doings. It contains everything [about] how you should behave externally: how to eat, how to drink, dress, sing, sleep, and keep a vigil.

5. To gnaw, scrape at.
6. To destroy, devastate (a person or of an object)

使用する際の注意点

• The finite past forms at, ate, aten are occasionally found; these reflect either the same analogical modification as modern English ate or the development of Proto-West Germanic *ā to /aː/ in East Saxon Middle English.
