Etymology_2[edit]

A citation: "I GROOPED in thy pocket pretty peate.",,, this note does not jive with how the word is defined. Looks more like a Chaucerian spelling for groped (?) Leasnam (talk) 03:00, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Removed: here it is if anyone wants to do something with it:
  • 1810, Alexander Chalmers, Samuel Johnson, editors, The works of the English poets, from Chaucer to Cowper[1], Digitized edition, published 2006, page 485:
    I GROOPED in thy pocket pretty peate.
