'fracking' anyone any ideas on origin or meaning?
My handy Dictionary of Archaic Words (That is, words that were considered archaic whem James Orchard Haliwell assembled them in 1847) notes it aa a dialect term.
The Northern and Suffolk meanings (highly different) are probably not indicated. But the Eastern meaning is
'fracking' To abound, swearm, or throng
