1 definition found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Wanion \Wan"ion\, n. [Probably for OE waniand waning, p. pr of wanien; hence used of the waning of the moon, supposed to be an unlucky time. See {Wane}.] A word of uncertain signification, used only in the phrase with a wanion, apparently equivalent to with a vengeance, with a plague, or with misfortune. [Obs.] --B. Jonson Latimer.
