cockelty breadn.

Brit.

/ˈkɒkltɪ brɛd/, U.S.

/ˈkɑk(ə)lti ˌbrɛd/

Forms:

α. 1500s cockell bread, 1600s– cockle bread, 1800s cockel bread.

β. Chiefly English regional 1700s– cockledy bread, 1800s– cockeldy bread, 1800s– cockelty bread, 1800s– cocklety bread.

γ. English regional 1800s cockelly bread, 1800s cockley bread, 1800s cockly bread.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: an element of uncertain origin, bread n.

Etymology: < a first element of uncertain origin + bread n. The first element perhaps shows cockle v.³ (although this is first attested later), or perhaps an unattested transferred use of cockle n.² after Middle French, French coquille female genitals (early 16th cent.; transferred use of coquille cockle n.²); compare English regional cockles (plural) female genitals (19th cent. or earlier) and the phrase to play at hot cockles at hot cockles n. 2. The β. and γ. forms probably show alterations respectively after cocklety adj. and cockly adj.² (although both are first attested later).Some corroboration of the practice suggested by Aubrey (see definition note) is provided by the following:a1025 Burchard of Worms Decretum (1549) xix. (De poenitentia) v. 973 Fecisti quod quaedam mulieres facere solent? Prosternunt se in faciem, et discoopertis natibus, jubent ut supra nudas nates conficiatur panis, et eo decocto tradunt maritis suis ad comedendum. Hoc ideo faciunt, ut plus exardescant in amorem illarum? Si fecisti, duos annos per legitimas ferias poeniteas. [Have you done what certain women are accustomed to do? They lie down on their faces, and with the buttocks uncovered, they order that bread is made over their bare buttocks, and once it has been cooked they hand it over to their husbands to eat. Do they do this so that they will burn with greater desire for them? If you have done this, may you do penance for two years for regular feast-days].

Now archaic and rare.

A type of bread; (perhaps) bread made from dough kneaded with the buttocks (see note).Frequently used without concrete reference to bread in to mould cockelty bread and variants: to move one's body to and fro by rocking on one's bottom after lifting one's feet off the ground from a sedentary position, or by rolling on a surface or being swung by others, either as part of various games (often with a name and a rhyme accompanying the action which make reference to cockelty bread) or because the movement is considered erotic; (in extended use, perhaps euphemistically) to engage in sexual activity or intercourse.John Aubrey (1626–97) suggested that the use of this phrase to describe a rocking movement originates from women giving bread made from dough which they have kneaded with their buttocks to men in order to arouse sexual attraction or desire in them (see Remaines Gentilisme & Judaisme (1881) 44, and cf. quot. a1697), but it is not clear whether this is the sense here or indeed whether bread was ever actually made in this way (although cf. quot. a1025 in the etymology).
