Definition ordure

Etymology

From Middle English ord?r, ord?re (“dirt, filth, rubbish; dung, excrement, piece of excrement; moral filth, sin, an instance or kind of moral filth”), borrowed from Anglo-Norman ordure, ordeur(e), ordor(e), ordour, and Middle French ordure, from Old French ordure (“dirt, filth, refuse; dung, excrement; moral filth”) (modern French ordure), from ord (“filthy”) + -ure (“suffix forming nouns describing the results of actions”). Ord is derived from Latin horridus (“dreadful, frightful, horrid”), from horre? (“to stand erect, stand on end; to shiver, tremble; to be afraid of, dread; to be frightful”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *??ers- (“stiff; surprised”)) + -idus (“suffix meaning ‘tending to’”). The word is cognate with Late Latin ordura.
