Has anyone ever heard of the word “Chaunce”?

My Mother’s family would say, ” I’m going to chaunce you if you don’t stop it.” I never dared to use it outside of the family.

The Urban Dictionary offers some possibilities:

As a name it is derived from the word chancellor.

It also could derive from old English ‘chaunce-medley’ (mixed accident) or manslaughter. This one seems more likely.

What your family was saying was ‘I am going to kill you, but it will look like an accident’
