History
Etymology
From Middle English ilimed (“having limbs, limbed”) [and other forms], from i- (prefix forming adjectives, past participles, etc.) + lim (“organ or part of the body, member; extremity of an animal or human body, limb; sexual organ; a person as a member of the group of all Christians; follower; liegeman; corner of a siege tower; arm of the sea; branch of a subject”) (see further at lim) + -ed (suffix forming adjectives); analysable as limb + -ed.
