A variant or dialectal form of 'eady,' an archaic word for property or possessions.
From Old English origins related to wealth and property terminology, though the exact root is disputed among etymologists. The form appears mainly in historical texts and regional dialects.
This word is so rare that even most comprehensive dictionaries barely acknowledge it—it's the kind of regional English variant that linguists discover in medieval manuscripts and then almost nobody uses again.
