Rhymes with -əʊd

Where it comes from

From Middle English yode, variant of yede, from Old English ēode, from Proto-Germanic *ijj-, a suppletive past tense form to Proto-Germanic *gāną (“to go”), and further from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ey- (“go”). Cognate with Latin eō (“go”), Russian идти (idti, “go”).

The modern pronunciation (for expected /juːd/, /jʊd/) is likely a spelling pronunciation, though influence from the vowel of go is also possible.

verb

  1. obsolete, past simple past of go; went. Sir Aglovaile through the churchyard those; Sing, All alone I lie Little recked where'er he yode, All alone, up in the sky.
