Furdle

/ˈfɜrdəl/ noun

Definition

A variant spelling of furdel; a bundle or package, particularly in historical or dialectal English.

Etymology

An alternative spelling of furdel, appearing in regional dialects and historical documents, with the same uncertain Germanic or Old English origins as its parent word.

Kelly Says

Furdle and furdel are spelling variants from a time when English spelling wasn't standardized—both appear in old manuscripts, but neither word survived into modern English because 'bundle' was simpler!
