Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- An obsolete spelling of subtle.
- To peddle; act as sutler.
- Light; in the light weight previous to the additional goods delivered for tret. Since tret went out of use, very long ago, though continued in the arithmetic books, it has come to be wrongly stated to be a deduction, instead of an addition not to the number of pounds but to the amount of goods delivered; and suttle is sometimes erroneously called a noun.
Wiktionary
- n. The weight of a commodity shipment after deduction of the weight of the container, before allowance of tret.
- v. To act as sutler; to supply provisions and other articles to troops.
GNU Webster's 1913
- n. (Com.) The weight when the tare has been deducted, and tret is yet to be allowed.
- v. To act as sutler; to supply provisions and other articles to troops.
