noun
- archaicArchaic spelling of cecity.
The blind man deplores his cæcity in dismal ditties ; the man‐in‐the‐bowl thanks Allah he has arms, and utilises them by beating upon the cymbals ; the tight‐rope dancer bangs the tambourine, the fiddles scream hoarsely, the guitars twang, there is a tootling of flutes—in a word, infinite psaltery.
1866, George Augustus Sala, chapter XIV, in A Trip to Barbary by a Roundabout Route, Tinsley Brothers, page 249
