alkanetn.

Brit.

/ˈalkənɛt/, U.S.

/ˈælkəˌnɛt/

Forms: Middle English alcannet, Middle English alkaned, Middle English alkenade, Middle English alkenald, Middle English alkenet, Middle English alkinet, Middle English alknatte, 1500s alcainet, 1500s– alkanet, 1600s alchanet, 1600s 1900s– alcanet.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a borrowing from Arabic. Etymon: Arabic ḥinnā'.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; ultimately < Arabic ḥinnā' henna (see alcanna n.), although the forms of the English word are difficult to explain (see note). Compare Anglo-Norman alkenet (1394 or earlier). Compare later alcanna n. Compare also later orcanet n. N.E.D. (1884) suggests an etymology from Spanish alcaneta , but this form has not been traced. It has been suggested that the English word derives from an unattested colloquial Arabic phrase *al-ḥannat ( < al- the + colloquial Arabic ḥannat- , ḥanna , variant of literary Arabic ḥinnā' ), but such a phrase would be ungrammatical, as the construct state form ḥannat- cannot be preceded by the definite article al- . It is possible that the ending -et may reflect a Romance diminutive suffix (compare -et suffix¹), although the lack of evidence for the suggested Spanish etymon and the later attestation of Anglo-Norman alkenet appear to argue against this.

1. A red dye obtained from the root of the plant Alkanna tinctoria (see sense 2), and used for various purposes including dyeing cloth and (now esp.) as a food colouring.
