a. Obs. rare. [f. TIME sb. + -SOME.] Of, pertaining to, existing in, or subject to time as opposed to eternity; of finite duration; temporal. Hence † Timesomeness.
1674. N. Fairfax, Bulk & Selv., 33. Everlastingness is no more All at Once, as a Now of Time is,… than it is it self Timesom. Ibid., 154. God … may as well be brought down to the timesomness of that which is bounded, as that which is every way bounded, may be lifted up to the alwayness of him who is unbounded. Ibid., 181. When we say, the body is dying or timesom, the soul deathless or endless, we do not mean the body should thereby lose its bodyhood, but only its suchness.
