Eloine

/ɪˈlɔɪn/ verb

Definition

Another variant spelling of eloign; to remove to a distance or conceal.

Etymology

Spelling variant of eloign/eloin, with the -e ending reflecting older English orthographic practices where final -e was more commonly used.

Kelly Says

Eloine shows us how wildly English spelling could vary before standardization—different scribes and regions spelled the same word different ways, which is why old legal documents can be surprisingly challenging to read.
