Aute

/ɔːt/ noun

Definition

An archaic or obsolete term, possibly referring to an old form or variant in historical texts.

Etymology

The etymology is unclear; 'aute' appears only in archaic or historical contexts and may be a variant or corrupted form of another word.

Kelly Says

Aute is so obscure that it barely appears in modern dictionaries—it's the kind of word that might exist in a single medieval manuscript, forever puzzling researchers about what it meant.
