Brit.

/ˈkʌkəʊld/, /ˈkʌk(ə)ld/, U.S.

/ˈkəkəld/

Forms: Middle English cukeweld, Middle English coke-, Middle English koke-, cocke-, couke-, kukwold(e, Middle English cokewalde, cukewalde, Middle English–1500s cok-, cocold(e, 1500s cock-, coke-, cowck-, cuckold(e, cucquold, cuckould, ( cockhole, cookcold), 1500s–1600s cuckhold, (1600s coockould, cucculd, cuckhole, cuckot), 1500s– cuckold.

Etymology: Middle English cukeweld, cokewold (3 syllables), adaptation of an Old French word which appears in 1463 as cucuault, pointing to an earlier *cucuald, < Old French cucu cuckoo (in 15–17 cent. cocu, 16–17th cent. coucou, cuckoo and cuckold; modern French coucou cuckoo, cocu cuckold, also, dialectally, cuckoo), with the appellative and pejorative suffix -ald, -auld, -ault, -aud = Italian -aldo, < German -wald: see Diez, Gramm. Lang. Rom. (1874) II. 346. (The Swedish dialect kukkuvall is from French; modern Icelandic kokkáll from English.) Another Old French synonym was coucuol, couquiol, with diminutive ending, apparently < Provençal: compare Old Provençal coguiol, modern Provençal couguieu, couquieu, couguou, cuckoo and cuckold. The current French equivalent is the simple form cocu. The origin of the sense is supposed to be found in the cuckoo's habit of laying its egg in another bird's nest; in German, gauch and kuckuk, and in Provençal, cogotz, were applied to the adulterer as well as the husband of the adulteress, and Littré cites an assertion of the same double use in French; in English, where cuckold has never been the name of the bird, we do not find it applied to the adulterer.

a. A derisive name for the husband of an unfaithful wife.In quot. 1600 with punning reversal of the elements of old cock.
