Talk:addled
Latest comment: 9 years ago by Neitrāls vārds
I have always perceived the word addle to mean something akin to "adulterate" or "spike" (as in "spike a drink.") Now upon looking at the defs I came to the conclusion that that might be an invention all of my own (perhaps perceiving it as a frequentative form (+ -le) of add) but writing "drug addl..." in Google I instantly got an autosuggestion and countless results (260,000 to be precise) to the effect of "drug-addled mind" and the like. I wonder do the existing defs cover this, is that an extension of the "confused" sense? Neitrāls vārds (talk) 11:53, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
