cade (not comparable)

- An animal brought up or nourished by hand.
- 1720, John Bulkeley, The Last-Day: Poem in XII Books, page 54:
- Then on the verdrous Bank, where Spices rose, Rowl on the balmy Grass, or smiling play With her young Cade, her caded Lamb with Smiles Answer'd her Love, and lickt her dainty hand.
Verb
cade (third-person singular simple present cades, present participle cading, simple past and past participle caded)
- To make a pet of; to coddle, pamper, or spoil.
- 1874, Pye Henry Chavasse, Counsel to a Mother on the Care and Rearing of her Children, 3rd edition, J.&A. Churchill, →OCLC, page 197:
- Delicacies are thrown away upon a growing youth; they are quite out of place; his appetite does not require pampering, and cading, and coaxing; moreover, a youth who is made to think a great deal of his stomach is sure to grow up an epicure!
- [1881, Pye Henry Chavasse, The Mental Culture and Training of Children, Lindsay & Blakiston, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 118:
- Besides, the more luxury a child has, the more he will require—wants beget wants; until, at length, he will become a poor, wretched, artificial imbecile, fit only to be caded and cottoned up in warm enervating rooms; but totally unfit to be buffeted about—as is good for him—in this rough world of ours.]
- 1926, Dorothy Rogers, “Miss Podbury's Adventure”, in The Windsor Magazine, volume 63, →OCLC, page 222:
- "He's neither more nor less interesting than any other man, I suppose," replied Miss Podbury drily. "They're all alike, as far as I can see. I can't think what women find in them to make such a fuss about, cading them up and spoiling them in the way they do!"
- [1911, David Herbert Lawrence, The White Peacock, Heinemann, page 142:
- He's a spoiled boy – I believe he keeps a little bit ill so that we can cade him.]
- 1965 [1941 winter], David Herbert Lawrence, “The Merry-Go-Round”, in Complete plays (Works), W. Heinemann, →OCLC, page 427, originally in Virginia Quarterly Review:

nurse: It is what will do him good—to be spoiled a while.
