decide ment (desidment)

[ Fie, signior! there be times, and terms of honour To argue these things in, dec i dements able To speak ye noble gentlemen, ways punctual, And to the life of credit; you're too rugged. Fletcher ( and another ), Love's Pilgrimage, ii. 1. decidencet (des'i-dens), n. [L. deciden (t-) s , ppr. of decidere , fall off, fall down, de- + ca dere , fall: see cadence and decay .] A falling off. Men observing the decidence of the thorn do fall upon the conceit that it annually rotteth away, and succe ively reneweth again. Sir T. Browne, Vulg. Err.
