wanion \WON-yuhn\ noun 1. Archaic. curse; vengeance. Quotes "Marry, come up with a wanion!" cried Friar Tuck, bustling forward and thrusting himself in front of the Bishop; "Marry come up, I say!" and he snapped his fingers under the Bishop's nose… -- Howard Pyle, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire, 1883 Origin Wanion entered English in the mid-1500s. It's an alteration of the Middle English waniand and comes from the Middle English phrase in the waniand mone, literally meaning "in the time of the waning moon." Figuratively, this means "in an unluckly hour."
