[1913 Webster]
Note: Walker condemns the pronunciation woond as a
"capricious novelty." It is certainly opposed to an
important principle of our language, namely, that the
Old English long sound written ou, and pronounced like
French ou or modern English oo, has regularly changed,
when accented, into the diphthongal sound usually
written with the same letters ou in modern English, as
in ground, hound, round, sound. The use of ou in Old
English to represent the sound of modern English oo was
borrowed from the French, and replaced the older and
Anglo-Saxon spelling with u. It makes no difference
whether the word was taken from the French or not,
provided it is old enough in English to have suffered
this change to what is now the common sound of ou; but
words taken from the French at a later time, or
influenced by French, may have the French sound.
[1913 Webster]
Wound gall (Zool.), an elongated swollen or tuberous gall

8. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
WOUND, med. jur. This term, in legal medicine, comprehends all lesions of
the body, and in this it differs from the meaning of the word when used in
surgery. The latter only refers to a solution of continuity, while the
former comprises not only these, but also every other kind of accident, such
as bruises, contusions, fractures, dislocations, and the like. Cooper's
Surgical Dict. h.t.; Dunglison's Med. Dict. h.t.; vide Dictionnaire des
Sciences Medicales, mot Blessures 3 Fodere, Med. Leg. Sec. 687-811.
2. Under the statute 9 Geo. IV. c. 21, sect. 12, it has been held in
England, that to make a wound, in criminal cases, there must be "an injury
to the person by which the skin is broken." 6 C. & P. 684; S. C. 19 Eng. C.
L. Rep. 526. Vide Beck's Med. Jur. c. 15; Ryan's Med. Jur. Index, h.t.;
Roscoe's Cr. Ev. 652; 19 Eng. Com. L. Rep. 425, 430, 526, 529; Dane's Ab.
Index, h.t.; 1 Moody's Cr. Cas. 278; 4 C. & P. 381; S. C. 19 E. C. L. R.
430; 4 C. & P. 446; S. C. 19 E. C. L. R. 466; 1 Moody's Cr. C. 318; 4 C. &
P. 558; S. C. 19 E. C. L. R. 526; Carr. Cr. L. 239; Guy, Med. Jur. ch. 9, p.
446; Merl. Repert. mot Blessure.
3. When a person is found dead from wounds, it is proper to inquire
whether they are the result of suicide, accident, or homicide. In making the
examination, the greatest attention should be bestowed on all the
circumstances. On this subject some general directions have been given under
the article Death. The reader is referred to 2 Beck's Med. Jur. 68 to 93. As
to, wounds on the living body, see Id. 188.
