Woon (wòòn), s. resource, (see note), T. iv. 1181; plenty, abundance, R. 1673; L. 1652; number, L. 2161 (see note); retreat, secure place, HF. 1166; B 1991; of sorwe woon, abundance of sorrow, 3. 475; Wones, pl. places of retreat, range of buildings, D 2105. Icel. vān, hope, expectation; hence, plenty; also, retreat, asylum, place of shelter or security. The oo in this word is long, from original Indo-germanic ē; cf. Goth. wēns, expectation; see Sievers, § 68. We must keep the word distinct from M.E. wonien, to dwell, to which it is unrelated. It is wrongly entered in Stratmann under wune; and is wrongly placed in the Century Dict. under won. See the notes to L. 2161 and T. iv. 1181; and, in particular, Zupitza's note to Guy of Warwick, l. 10329; p. 444.
