The forms of this word all have to do with customary practice. It was used several times by Henry Best, an East Riding farmer: 1642 <i>When the Horse close was wonte to bee mowne it was allwayes accounted eight dayworkes; Kellithorpe-greets was wonte to bee a pasture that younge beasts would like very well</i> (DW65,125). More imaginatively he explained how animals were made accustomed to a new feeding ground: 1642 <i>The Noutheard hath for every beast jd which is called a wontinge penny. Hee taketh them all in himselfe and perhaps keepeth them a weeke till they bee wonted </i>(DW126).
