† dagn.²

Etymology: Derivation unknown. Referred by some to French dague a dagger; but no trace has been found of any connection between the two words. The sense ‘dagger’ given by Johnson (without quotation), and repeated in later dictionaries (in Cent. Dict. with erroneous quotation), appears to be a mere mistake, due to misapprehension of the frequent 16–17th cent. collocation ‘dag and dagger’ in descriptions of personal accoutrement. Sense 3 in Cent. Dict. ‘a stab or thrust with a dagger’, is a blunder due to misreading of Minsheu.

Obsolete.

A kind of heavy pistol or hand-gun formerly in use.

Referred by some to French dague a dagger; but no trace has been found of any connection between the two words. The sense ‘dagger’ given by Johnson (without quotation), and repeated in later dictionaries (in Cent. Dict. with erroneous quotation), appears to be a mere mistake, due to misapprehension of the frequent 16–17th cent. collocation ‘dag and dagger’ in descriptions of personal accoutrement. Sense 3 in Cent. Dict. ‘a stab or thrust with a dagger’, is a blunder due to misreading of Minsheu. Obsolete. A kind of heavy pistol or hand-gun formerly in use.
