Etymology 2
The phrase meaning to pass time idly is while away. We can trace the meaning in an adjectival sense for while back to Old English, hw?len, "passing, transitory". It is also seen in whilend, "temporary, transitory". But since wile away occurs so often, it is now included in many dictionaries.
Verb
wile
- Misspelling of while (“to pass the time”).
- Here's a pleasant way to wile away the hours.
