Aloofe

/əˈluf/ adjective

Definition

A variant or archaic spelling of 'aloof,' meaning distant, emotionally detached, or physically removed.

Etymology

Variant spelling of 'aloof' (from Dutch 'af loof,' meaning 'away from the lee/wind'). Medieval and Early Modern English used multiple spelling variations, and 'aloofe' represents one alternative form before standardization.

Kelly Says

This is what happens when English was still figuring out how to spell itself—different printers and writers spelled 'aloof' different ways, and 'aloofe' was one of the losing candidates in the great spelling standardization wars!
