Usage notes

Frequently suffixed to a period of day or season (?fent?d, wintert?d) to show consideration of it as a span of time, as modern English -time (evening time, wintertime) or archaic English -tide (eventide, wintertide).

Although t?d was used for natural cycles of time, it was apparently not used for the cycles of the ocean and other large bodies of water until Middle English (c. 1340). The Old English terms for the tide were instead fl?d and ebba.

Synonyms

• t?ma
• (3-hour period): stund
• (religious service): t?dsang, t?dþegnung, t?dweorþung
