mishapt (comparative more mishapt, superlative most mishapt)

  1. Obsolete form of misshapen.
    • 1590, Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene:
      For howsoever it may grow mishapt
      (Like this wild man, being undisciplin'd)
      That to all vertue it may seem unapt,
      Yet will it shew some sparks of gentle mind,
      And at the last break forth in his own proper kind.
