I think it's MELL = M (married) + ELL (a small measure) which is a large fencing hammer in Scotland and also means to beat or ROUT.

Brilliant John (from Arran)

My first suggestion was beat but I would never have got to the logic of it if I lived to be 110.

A nice cuppa and MOTD now.

Blessings and Nite Nite.

Weld, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Welded; p. pr. & vb. n. Welding.] [Probably originally the same word as well to spring up, to gush; perhaps from the Scand.; cf. Sw. välla to weld, uppvälla to boil up, to spring up, Dan. vælde to gush, G. wellen to weld. See Well to spring.]

from Websters 1913 - gush/pour?
