deign
I get that 'deign' sounds like Dane but why 'high tea'?
Heich translates as high, tae translates as toe or until.Can't see how deign parses.
In Irish 'tae' means tea
Question Author
Nice one thanks
Can anyone parse 'deign'?
Not from the clue given.Even High tea doesn't work.
I have entered deign in three Scottish/English dictionaries and all translated deign as deign.
Long shot, but - Heich can mean 'high/haughty' plus Tae 'to'.

High to?

Adjective
heich (comparative heicher, superlative heichest)

high
haughty
Derived terms
heichly
Adverb
heich (comparative heicher, superlative heichest)

high
haughtily
loudly


Deign meaning showing arrogance etc then makes a bit more sense.
