Holidom, halidom, or holidame, an ancient oath, (says Skinner;) either, as Somner thinks, from the A. S. Haligdome, sanctitas, q.d. by the sanctuary, or holy reliques;-otherwise from halig, sanctus, holy, and dom, doom, judgment; or from Eng. Holy-dame, q. d. per sanctam dominam.

Airy, vaporous.

Since upon the bare dilatation of the thorax, the spring of that internal air, or halituous substance that is wont to possess as much of the cavity of the chest as the lungs fill not up, being much weakened, the external and contiguous air must necessarily press in at the open wind-pipe into the lungs, as finding there less resistance than any where else about it.-Boyle.

HALL. A. S. Healle; Ger. Halle; Fr. HA'LLIER. Halle. The Ger. Halle, as applied to a structure formed for a dwelling or habitation, is derived by Wachter from the Ger. Hüllen, tegere, operire, to cover. And Tooke, in its general usage, as " A covered building, where persons assemble, or where goods are protected from the weather;" believes it to be the past part. of the A. S. verb Helan, tegere, to cover; in old English to hele, to heal, to hil.

A covered building, where persons meet or assemble for the administration of justice, or the transaction of business; where goods are stationed or deposited,-covered or protected from weather; where persons wait (under cover) till admitted into the interior building.
