† inˈcording, vbl. n. Obs.
[f. incord v. + -ing1 (cf. quot. 1607).]
Rupture or hernia in a horse.
1598Florio, Incordatura, ..the incording or bursting of a horse. 1607Topsell Four-f. Beasts (1658) 307 This term, Incording, is borrowed of the Italian word Incordato, which in plain English is as much to say as Bursten..The Italians, as I take it, did call it Incordato, because the gut follows the string of the stone, called of them Il cordone, or La corda, whereof Incordato seems to be derived with some reason. According to which reason we should call it rather Instringed, then Incorded; for Corda doth signifie a string or cord. Notwithstanding, sith that Incording is already received in the stable, I for my part am very well content therewith, minding not to contend against it. 1610Markham Masterp. ii. xlix. 292 This incording or burstinesse in horses, is when the rim or thinne filme which holdeth the guts vp in a horses body is broken, so that the guts falleth downe either into the cods of the horse, or into the horses flancke. 1725Bradley Fam. Dict. s.v. Rupture, Rupture otherwise called Incording or Burstness, a distemper in a horse. |
