        Truly, the morning of our cognizance is our childhood, our youth is like the underntide, when our youth rises, just as the sun does around the third hour; our complete growth is like midday, since in the middle of the day the sun rises to the highest point in its course, just as our complete growth is flourishing in full strength. The noontide is our age, for at noontide the sun starts to go down, as the aging man's strength is waning. The eleventh hour is worn-out old age, approaching death, like the sun approaches its setting at the end of the day.

   3. a season, a fourth of the year
      • c. 994, Ælfric, On the Seasons of the Year

        Rōmanisc̄e lēodan ongynnað heora ġēar æfter hǣðenum ġewunan on winterlīċere tīde. Ebrei healdað heora geares annginn on lenctenlīcre emnihte. Đā Grēcisċan onginnað hyra ġēar æt ðām sunnstede; ⁊ ða Egiptisċan on hærfest.

        The Roman people begin theirs, after the heathen custom, in the winter time. The Hebrews observe the beginning of their year on the vernal equinox. The Greeks begin their year at the solstice; and the Egyptians in the fall.

   4. (especially in the plural) an age, an era
3. the hour, the moment determined by a sundial or other device marking the division between the tides or hours

   nōntīd ― nones

4. (Christianity) the religious service held at a canonical hour, four of which were equivalent to the daylight tides
5. the season, the favorable or proper period for an action, especially with regard to farming or (Christianity) the holy seasons of the liturgical year

Frequently suffixed to a period of day or season (ǣfentīd, wintertīd) to show consideration of it as a span of time, as modern English -time (evening time, wintertime) or archaic English -tide (eventide, wintertide).

Although tīd was used for natural cycles of time, it was apparently not used for the cycles of the ocean and other large bodies of water until Middle English (c. 1340). The Old English terms for the tide were instead flōd and ebba.
