The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
desistive. I'm having trouble finding any (online) quotes for this. All I get is dictionary sites. — Vildricianus 15:53, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
No listing in any of my paper dictionaries, and the only dictionaries that have it online list it as from the 1913 Webster's. - TheDaveRoss 16:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Websters 1902 defines it as: "adjective [see desist] Final; conclusive; ending." I have also not found any source other than dictionaries. I intend to move it to WT:LOP. Andrew massyn 17:19, 17 July 2006 (UTC
