|
PARDIE.
A name given to one who was in the habit of swearing Par-dieu.
Lower says, it is not a little curious that the French oath, "Par Dieu"
has become naturalized among us, under the various modifications of Pardew,
Pardoe, Pardow, and Pardee. so also we have the Norman name Bigot,
from the habit of swearing "Bi-God."
