across-- I realize what the meaning is.
However, I am intrigued to find that the two volume New Shorter Oxford
English Dictionary (1993) does not list this word.
Does anyone know of a dictionary which gives both a definition of this =
=3D
word
and its derivation?
Is it ikely that the immediate origin of the word is German?
BTW, the NSOED is now available on CD-ROM at half the price of the two
bound volumes, and is a _most_ marvellous tool.
I thoroughly recommend it.

Maurice,
My Oxford English Dictionary states the following:
"Tradent - Rom. Law. rare. [pd. L. tradens, tradent-, pr. pple. of =3D
tradere to hand over, to deliver.] The person who delivers or hands over =
=3D
any property to another. 1880 Muirhead 580 Gaius The conditions upon =3D
which it carried the property were that the tradent was owner."
