Possible missing sense

edit

Chambers 1908 also gives this word as a [UK] "dialectal form of wet"; no particular part of speech is indicated. Equinox 19:02, 22 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Equinox: It's presumably the adjective as it's the direct descendant of Old English wǣt. The modern adjective wet is etymologically the past participle of the verb 'to wet'. —Mahāgaja · talk 11:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
