Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryA continuous vertical section of masonry, one unit in thickness. · A partition between flues in a chimney.
Uncertain. * Perhaps an alteration of width. * Perhaps related to withe (“flexible twig; band of twigs”), from Old English wiþþe (“tie, band”). The chimney-partition sense may derive from the fact that a single wythe or thickness of brick has often been used for such partitions.
