muckender Obs. exc. dial.|ˈmʌkəndə(r)|
Forms: 5 mokedore, mokado(u)r, moctour, 6 mocke(n)dar, mucketter, 6–7 mucketer, 7 mucki-, mocketer, 7–9 muckinder, 9 muckinger, 7– muckender.
[In 15th c. mokedore, prob. adopted from the equivalent of F. mouchoir (see mouchoir) in some Occitanian dialect (see Skeat in Mod. Lang. Rev. Oct. 1906, p. 60). Cf. mod.Pr. moucadour (Honnorat), Sp. mocador, -dero, pocket-handkerchief; also It. moccadore, moccatore, ‘one who snuffs a candle’ (Florio).
The word presumably comes from the language of some district where the article was manufactured. Adoption from Sp. is unlikely for the 15th c., and the Sp. mocador is prob. not of native formation, as the vb. corresponding to F. moucher seems not to have existed in Sp.]
A handkerchief. † Also, a table-napkin; a bib.
