One of the large beads in the rosary at which the paternoster is recited.

Removed by 2003:DE:372E:DAD4:495A:15D7:D7E1:9489 when moving the quotation to Middle English gaudees. J3133 (talk) 12:41, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

The OED has this under the lemma gaud (variant spelling gaude), not gaudy. There are two post-15th-century quotations, one dated 1570 and the other 1874. Both use the spelling gaude. — Sgconlaw (talk) 12:48, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
The (singular) Middle English entry already existed at gaudi so the IP made a mess by creating a plurale tantum entry for it, I've sorted it out. Generally they don't seem to be paying attention to dictionary forms and checking for existing entries when moving these quotations around. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 13:55, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
