chicken hazardn.

Brit.

/ˈtʃɪk(ᵻ)n ˌhazəd/, U.S.

/ˈtʃɪkən ˌhæzərd/

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: an element of uncertain identity, hazard n.

Etymology: < a first element of uncertain identity (perhaps chicken n., with allusion to the small amount bet) + hazard n. Compare slightly later chicken stake n.Although it has been suggested that the first element may be chequin n. (compare α. forms at that entry), this seems unlikely in view of the lack of attestation of chicken as a form of chequin n. in the 18th cent.; moreover, a zecchino or chequin (a gold coin) is not of small value.

Now rare.

A game of hazard (see hazard n. 1) played for low stakes.
