Verb
wind (third-person singular simple present winds, present participle winding, simple past and past participle winded or (proscribed) wound)
- (transitive) To blow air through a wind instrument or horn to make a sound.

Usage notes
- The form “wound” in the past is occasionally found in reference to blowing a horn, but is often considered to be erroneous. The October 1875 issue of The Galaxy disparaged this usage as a “very ridiculous mistake” arising from a misunderstanding of the word's meaning.
- A similar solecism occurs in the use (in this sense) of the pronunciation /waɪnd/, sometimes heard in singing and oral reading of verse e.g. The huntsman /waɪndz/ his horn.
