Instructions: go to the Middle English Compendium (available on-line: type in "Middle English Compendium" as a title on library home page and click; click on the Website; then click on "Middle English Dictionary"; click on "look up" to get a field for entering your query).
Because Middle English spelling is not regularized, you'll probably need to use "wildcards" in your search, especially for longer words and words that are derived from Latin (often with a -tion ending). "Wildcards" are noted by an asterisk (*). Generally, replace the vowels with an asterisk, and also put one at the end of your word. For the word "affection," for instance, searching for af*e*n* gives you all words that have those letters in that order, without regard to how many letters are BETWEEN those particular letters. Af*e*n* results in 71 hits, and brings up affeccioun, which is the spelling of the word the Middle English Dictionary uses.
