Definitions

  1. carry on (wars, battles, or campaigns)

Word origin

From Middle English wagen (“to pledge”), from Anglo-Norman, Old Northern French wagier, a northern variant of Old French guagier (whence modern French gager), itself either from guage or from a derivative of Frankish *waddī, possibly through a Vulgar Latin intermediate *wadiō from *wadium (see the noun above). See Medieval Latin wadiō and wadium for more.

Used in a sentence

  • Before her promotion, her wages were 20% less.
  • My life I never held but as a pawn / To wage against thine enemies
  • I fear the power of Percy is too weak / To wage an instant trial with the King.
