catkinn.

Brit.

/ˈkatkɪn/, U.S.

/ˈkætkən/

Forms: Also 1500s catteken, catken, 1700s–1800s katkin.

Etymology: Taken by Lyte from Dutch katteken ‘kitten’ and ‘catkin’ of hazel, willow, etc. (in Dodoens), diminutive of katte cat. The 16th cent. Latin catulus , French chaton ( < chat ), and German kätzchen , have the same two senses; the catkin being named from its soft downy appearance: compare catling n. 4.

Botany.

A unisexual inflorescence, consisting of rows of apetalous flowers ranged in circles along a slender stalk; the whole forming a cylindrical, downy-looking, and generally pendant part, which falls off in a single piece after flowering or ripening; as in the willow, birch, poplar, pine, hazel, etc.; a deciduous spike; an amentum. (Called by Turner 1568 tagge, and by various 16–17th century writers aglet.)
