coxswainn.

Brit.

/ˈkɒksn/, U.S.

/ˈkɑksn/,

/ˈkɑkˌsweɪn/

Forms:

α. Middle English cokeswayne, Middle English cokswaynne, Middle English kokeswayne, 1600s cockswaine, 1600s– cockswain.

β. 1600s coxswaine, 1600s– coxswain, 1600s– coxwain.

γ. 1600s cocksun, 1600s–1700s coxen, 1600s– coxon, 1800s– cox'n, 1800s– coxun, 1900s– cox'un.

Etymology: < cock n.⁴ + swain n., probably after boatswain n. The β. forms (with the exception of coxwain) effectively represent the initial sound of the second element twice (with x and s ), but in spite of this apparent illogicality coxswain has long been the commonest spelling of the word (although the shortened form cox n.¹ is commoner still). The γ. forms, although less commonly found in writing, more faithfully reflect the usual reduced pronunciation of the word. (Compare similarly boatswain n., bosun n.) N.E.D. (1893) also gives the pronunciation (kǫ·ksweⁱn)

/ˈkɒksweɪn/.

1. The person who steers a ship's boat, or other small vessel; a boat's helmsman. Also: the member of a ship's crew in charge of a ship's boat and its crew; the senior petty officer on a small ship, submarine, etc.Coxswain is also used as a specific naval rank in a number of contexts. The responsibilities and level of authority associated with the rank vary in different navies and over time, although it often involves responsibility for a small vessel or duties as a helmsman.Recorded earliest as a surname.
