Just came here looking for definition of 'couth' and noticed content had been replaced with 'CHICKEN POT PIE' - so I clicked the 'Undo' button. SAR22410

Rfv-sense as the obsolete past participle of can (“to be able to”) - I don't think this survived into modern English. The OED only gives couth as an archaic/dialectal form of could in the simple past sense past 1500. The only past participle that it does give is could (and coulde), which still sees occasional dialectal use ("I haven't could sleep"). Theknightwho (talk) 02:35, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
- If this passes, it needs to be moved to a separate etymology heading as it doesn’t seem to derive from etymology 1. — Sgconlaw (talk) 11:56, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
