caterann.

/ˈkatərən/

Forms: 1500s ketheri(n)ck, ketharin, catherein, 1700s kettrin, ( kaitrine), 1800s catheran, katheran, cateran, catteran.

Etymology: Lowland Scots catherein, kettrin, appears to represent Gaelic ceathairne collective ‘peasantry’, whence ceathairneach ‘sturdy fellow, freebooter’ (M^cAlpine); Cormac has Irish ceithern, which O'Donovan renders ‘band of soldiers’, thence ceithernach ‘one of a band’. The th has long been mute in Celtic, and the Irish ceithern /ˈkeərn/ is phonetically represented by English kern n.¹ It is not easy to account for the preservation of the dental in Lowland Scots, unless perhaps through the intermediation of medieval Latin as in Bower's cateranos. (Stokes refers ceithern to Old Irish *keitern, Old Celtic keterna, a feminine ā-stem.)

†a. As a collective noun. Common people of the Highlands in a troop or band, fighting men. Obsolete.
