chamberingn.

Brit.

/ˈtʃeɪmb(ə)rɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈtʃeɪmbərɪŋ/

Forms: see chamber n. and -ing suffix¹.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: chamber n., -ing suffix¹; chamber v., -ing suffix¹.

Etymology: Partly < chamber n. + -ing suffix¹, and partly < chamber v. + -ing suffix¹. With sense 5 compare cameration n. 2.In sense 3 perhaps originally arising from a misapprehension of Luther's translation of Romans 13:13. Luther's translation of the New Testament (1522) renders the passage as Last vns erbarlich wandeln,..nicht ynn fressen vnd sauffen, nicht ynn kamern vnd geylheyt ‘Let us walk honestly,..not in eating and drinking immoderately, not in chambers and wantonness’ (the revised edition of 1546 reads nicht in kamern vnd vnzucht ‘not in chambers and fornication’), where kamern is the plural of kamer chamber n. However, kamern could be misapprehended as a verb, owing to the perceived parallelism with the preceding infinitives fressen fret v.¹ and sauffen sup v.¹; this misapprehension is reflected also in later use in German, where †kammern ‘to fornicate’ is occasionally attested from 1699 onwards. In the so-called Adventspostille (1522), Luther also cited the passage in Romans, but eliminated the ambiguity by substituting schlaffkamern, lit. ‘sleeping chambers’, for kamern.

†1. Restraint in speech. Cf. chamber v. 1a. Obsolete. rare.
