Not an especially complicated word, but how can I resist a word the editors of the OED could not find a single definition for?
Comade Obs. Also comad, commade
? comand. (Meaning uncertain)
c 1430 Cookery Bks. 48 Take Gyngere, canelle, & melle wyl þi commade þer-with. Ibid. 56 Dry þin cofyn, & caste þin comade þer-on. Ibid. Þan take hardend cofyns, & pore þin comade þer-on. 14.. Noble Bk. Cookry (Napier 1882) 26 And when the pot boilithe put the comand to the broth.
