[6] friðsein ‘a prevention of peace’: Lit. ‘peace-delay’ (litotes). This is an otherwise unattested cpd from friðr m. ‘peace’ and sein n. ‘delay’, a derivation of the adj. seinn ‘slow, reluctant’; cf. vera seinn, hafa seint ‘be hesitant’, i.e. avoid doing something or never do it (Fritzner: seinn).
