Etymology

Unknown. Perhaps from weigh (to lift into the air), or from way (headway, speed) + enough.

Pronunciation

  • (US) IPA(key): /weɪ əˈnʌf/, [weɪˈnʌf], [weɪˈnʌp̚], [weɪˈnɑf]

Interjection

Usage notes

  • This phrase is most often used on the water, but can be used in many rowing contexts in which a coxswain is directing rowers, such as loading shells onto a trailer, transporting launches, etc.
  • This term is sometimes reanalyzed as wane (to lose intensity) + off, up, thus giving the verb forms: third-person singular simple present wanes off, wanes up, present participle waning off, waning up, simple past and past participle waned off, waned up.
