haviour, † havour|ˈheɪvɪə(r)|
Forms: 5 hauoyr(e, -ore, 5–6 havoir, -oire, -ur(e, -eour, -your(e, 5–7 havour, -oure, 6– haviour (6 hauior); see also aver n.
[Orig. a. F. aveir, avoir ‘having, possession, property, estate, wealth, etc.’, subst. use of avoir, OF. aveir to have. First used in Eng. in the Norman form aveyr (see aver); the Central Fr. form avoir appeared about 1400, and displaced aver, exc. in the northern dialect, where that form survived in a specific sense. In 14–15th c., association with the Engl. have, having, introduced the variants haver, havoir, havour, and the h was established before 1500. At the same time the parallel behavour was formed on the Eng. behave; and in 16th c. havour, beside its original sense of ‘possession’, took also that of behavour. Subsequently the termination of both words passed through -eour to -iour (cf. saviour, and vulgar ‘lovier’); the original sense ‘possession’ became obs.; and, in the new sense, haviour came down alongside of behaviour, of which it may often have been viewed as a shortened by-form.]
