Fulldo

/ˈfʊlduː/ noun

Definition

An archaic or obsolete term with unclear meaning, possibly related to fulling or a type of fabric finish.

Etymology

Possibly a combination of 'full' (to clean cloth) with 'do' or 'dough,' but the original meaning and formation are now obscure.

Kelly Says

Some words die out so completely that even their original meanings vanish—'fulldo' appears in old textile documents but nobody remembers what it actually meant.
