Etymology
From Middle English addledd, adyld, equivalent to addle (“urine, liquid filth”) +? -ed. Addle derives from Old English adel, adela (“mud, mire, liquid manure”), cognate with Old Swedish adel (“urine”), Middle Low German adel, Dutch aal (“manure”). Used in noun phrase addle egg (mid-13c.) “egg that does not hatch, rotten egg”, lit. “urine egg”, a loan translation of Latin ovum urinum, which is itself an erroneous loan translation of Ancient Greek ?????? ??? (oúrion ?ión, “putrid egg”), lit. “wind egg”, from ?????? (oúrios, “of the wind”), from ????? (oûros, “fair wind”) (confused by Roman writers with ?????? (oúrios, “of urine”), from ????? (oûron, “urine”)). Because of this usage, the noun in English was taken as an adj. from c. 1600, meaning “putrid”.
