Needs attestation. Not listed in the Duden. --Bruno413 (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Duden is far away from containing all German words, and it's easily attested, e.g. simply doing a google books search for "active gebraucht" (= used actively). -Wilhelm-231 (talk) 05:37, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Also archaic then? I don't find an attestation newer than 1800. --Bruno413 (talk) 08:28, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

I find younger usages but they're from the 19th century (e.g. 1808, 1843, 1859). Feel free to add a label if you want. -Wilhelm-231 (talk) 08:33, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with Wiktionary yet to know what labels or categories are appropriate here. Maybe someone can do it who is more experienced? It's definitely a spelling that is no longer used or considered to be correct. --Bruno413 (talk) 14:21, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Webster entry. Definitions need formatting. Synonyms and Antonyms need to be associated with definitions rather than numbers. -- Liliana • 12:54, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

• Done the synonyms. Leaving antonyms for now --P5Nd2 (talk) 12:30, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the syns, P! I finished off the antonyms and reworded a few definitions. --Spreaderofwords (talk) 11:38, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
