Etymology 2

[edit]

Verb

[edit]

met

(obsolete)simplepast andpast participle ofmete(to measure)
- [1611?],Homer, “Book III”, inGeo[rge] Chapman, transl.,The Iliads of Homer Prince of Poets. […], London: […] Nathaniell Butter,→OCLC; republished asThe Iliads of Homer, Prince of Poets, […], new edition, volume I, London:Charles Knight and Co., […],1843,→OCLC:
  Then Hector, Priam’s martial son, stepp’d forth, andmet the ground,
  With wise Ulysses, where the blows of combat must resound;
  The spelling has been modernized.

Etymology 3

[edit]

FromMiddle Englishmeten(“to dream”), fromOld Englishmætan(“to dream”).

Verb

[edit]

met (no third-person singular simple present,no present participle,simple pastmet,no past participle)

(obsolete, impersonal) Todream; to occur (to one) in a dream.
- c.1653,William Cartwright,The Ordinary:
  All night memet eke that I was at Kirke.

Usage notes

[edit]

Met is a defective, impersonal verb, and as such it only occurs in the past tense, for example:

Memet that I was walking in a wondrous wood where a thousand wild wolfins live. (Idreamt that I was walking in a wondrous forest where a thousand wild she-wolves live)

In Old English and Middle English this verb was not defective and was used both personally and impersonally. However, in northern rural dialects, where it is still in use, this verb only occurs in the past tense and in impersonal constructions.
