[note]The Anglo-Norman Dictionary includes an entry for "desacreeit,"
a word that Olwen Rhys gives in her printing of the Trinity manuscript version of the "Effects of the Seven Sins."
The dictionary suggests that it means "to diminish." However, the word seems to have been a transcription mistake on Rhys'
part.
The word "desacreeit" is not attested elsewhere; Rhys' transcription is the only example in the Anglo-Norman Dictionary.
Reichl transcribes this word as "deshenfaite," and I see the same (fol. 81v). "Deshenfaite" is itself surely a scribal error
for
"desafeit."
