Verb

bade

1. simple past tense of bid
   • 1907, Harold Bindloss, chapter 22, in The Dust of Conflict:

     Pancho, the major-domo, came up to say that Colonel Morales was waiting below. Appleby bade him bring out cigars and wine, and rose from his seat when Morales came in.

Usage notes

The inflected form bade, like the form bidden, is archaic. It remains in marginal use, particularly regarding greetings as in “bade farewell”, but uninflected bid is significantly more common.^[1]
