[Origin and part of speech unknown. In cade lamb, ‘cade’ may be an adj. with some such sense as ‘cast’ or ‘domestic, tame’, or a n. used attrib. as in pet-lamb: in the former case ‘cade’ as a n. would be short for ‘cade-lamb’; in the latter, ‘cade-lamb’ might be an expansion. (As Cotgrave gives an alleged F. ‘cadel a castling, a starveling, one that hath need much of cockering and pampering’, a sense not unlike Eng ‘pet’, it has been suggested that cade-lamb was perh. for an earlier *cadel-lamb. But this is historically impossible. M. Paul Meyer says Cotgrave's word is not Fr., but app. the 16th c. Languedocien cadel ‘little dog’, and his explanation erroneous. The corresp. OF. word was chael, cheel, which has no likeness to the ME. kod, cad, even if the sense suited. Wedgwood compares Da. kaad wanton, petulant, sportive:—ON. kát-r merry, cheerful: but cade is not at all Sc., and apparently not properly northern, since Ray 1691 explains the ‘North-Country words’ pet, pet-lamb as ‘a cade-lamb.’)] 1. as adj. or in comb.
