A dialectal term meaning peevish, cross, or bad-tempered (now obsolete).
Of uncertain origin, possibly from Middle English or earlier Germanic dialects. The word appears in some historical dictionaries but has no clear documented etymology.
Frampold is basically a dead word—it's the kind of term you might find in a 300-year-old insult dictionary but nowhere in actual modern speech, making it a perfect example of how language constantly sheds old descriptive words.
