Also 6 chyne cough, chyn-, chincoughe, (chyckock), choinecouch, 7 choynecough.
[For chinkcough, in northern dialect kinkcough, f. chink v.1, kink + cough. An earlier form was kinkhost (f. host cough), corresp. to MLG. kinkhôste, LG. kinkhost, Du. kinkhoest, kik-, kiekhoest, Ger. keich-, keuchhusten, Da. kighoste, Sw. kikhosta, hooping-cough, all containing the stem (Saxon) kink-, OTeut. kik- to chink, kink, gasp. By popular etymology the word seems to have been connected with chin and chine, and in north dial. with king.]
An epidemic distemper, especially of children, characterized by a violent and convulsive cough: now more commonly called hooping-cough.
