Definition
An obsolete variant of alms or almoin, referring to charitable giving or the giving of alms to the poor.
Etymology
A shortened form of almoign/almoin, showing how longer words get abbreviated in everyday speech and writing. Demonstrates the normal phonetic reduction of Romance words entering English.
Kelly Says
Almon is a rare reminder that 'alms' didn't always sound so short—medieval speakers said longer versions like 'almoin' that gradually wore down like river stones!
