dudgeonn.¹adj.¹

Brit.

/ˈdʌdʒ(ə)n/, U.S.

/ˈdədʒən/

Forms: late Middle English degeoun, late Middle English dojoun, 1500s dogen, 1500s dogeon, 1500s dogion, 1500s doodgean, 1500s doogen, 1500s dougion, 1500s dugen, 1500s dugyon, 1500s–1600s doogeon, 1500s–1600s dudgen, 1500s–1600s dudgin, 1500s–1600s dudgion, 1500s– dudgeon, 1600s dougeon, 1600s dudgin; also Scottish pre-1700 dudgeon, pre-1700 dugeon, pre-1700 dugeoun, pre-1700 duggeoun.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown.Attested earlier in Anglo-Norman contexts, but it is unclear whether these examples imply earlier currency in English, or whether they should be taken as evidence for an otherwise unattested Anglo-Norman word. The form of the word suggests a Romance origin, but no corresponding word has been found in continental French or other Romance languages. The word occurs in Anglo-Norman contexts as digeoun and dogeon , and also in post-classical Latin contexts as degeoun (with which compare quot. 1411 at sense A. 1), dogeon , dogyn , doion , dugion , and dogean . Compare:1380 Ordinance Cutlers in Let. Bk. H (London Metropolitan Archives COL/AD/01/008) f. cxviij Qe nulles manches darbre forsqe digeoun soyent colourez. [Tr. in H. T. Riley Mem. London (1868) 439 No handle of wood, except digeon, shall be coloured.]1411 London Plea & Mem. Roll (London Metropolitan Archives CLA/024/01/02/042) m. 3^v Thomas Alfred mercator nuper affirmavit quandam querelam detencionis mercimonii vnius mille de degeoun.1443 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1855) II. 88 Unum par cultellorum cum manubrio de dugion. Compare also the following Anglo-Norman example, in which dogeon has alternatively been interpreted as a variant of dodekyn dodkin n.; however, the word appears in a list of miscellaneous items for which toll has been charged, so is unlikely to refer to a coin:1416 Rolls of Parl.: Henry V (Electronic ed.) Parl. Mar. 1416 §27. m. 7 Lez mair..et universitee..de Baion'..ount pris..de chescun mille de dogeon, la value de vi d. Engloys. Branches A. II. and B. II. probably arose from the idea that a dagger with a dudgeon haft was cheap and inferior (compare quots. 1590, a1612 at sense B. 1), but may possibly represent a different word. Compare also the allusive uses in quots. 1581 at sense B. 1, 1594, 1602 at sense B. 2.

Now historical.

A. n.¹

I. A kind of wood used to make knife handles, and related senses.

1. Wood of a kind formerly commonly used for the handles of knives, daggers, etc., and also to make bowls (cf. mazer n.¹ 1a).Used esp. to refer to wood having uneven grain, burrs, etc., or otherwise of poor quality.In quot. 1411 perhaps: a stave of wood. (It is not certain that this example shows the same word. Cf. also quot. 1416 in etymology.)

单词	dudgeon
释义	dudgeonn.¹adj.¹ Brit. /ˈdʌdʒ(ə)n/, U.S. /ˈdədʒən/ Forms: late Middle English degeoun, late Middle English dojoun, 1500s dogen, 1500s dogeon, 1500s dogion, 1500s doodgean, 1500s doogen, 1500s dougion, 1500s dugen, 1500s dugyon, 1500s–1600s doogeon, 1500s–1600s dudgen, 1500s–1600s dudgin, 1500s–1600s dudgion, 1500s– dudgeon, 1600s dougeon, 1600s dudgin; also Scottish pre-1700 dudgeon, pre-1700 dugeon, pre-1700 dugeoun, pre-1700 duggeoun. Origin: Of unknown origin. Etymology: Origin unknown.Attested earlier in Anglo-Norman contexts, but it is unclear whether these examples imply earlier currency in English, or whether they should be taken as evidence for an otherwise unattested Anglo-Norman word. The form of the word suggests a Romance origin, but no corresponding word has been found in continental French or other Romance languages. The word occurs in Anglo-Norman contexts as digeoun and dogeon , and also in post-classical Latin contexts as degeoun (with which compare quot. 1411 at sense A. 1), dogeon , dogyn , doion , dugion , and dogean . Compare:1380 Ordinance Cutlers in Let. Bk. H (London Metropolitan Archives COL/AD/01/008) f. cxviij Qe nulles manches darbre forsqe digeoun soyent colourez. [Tr. in H. T. Riley Mem.

Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1855) II. 88 Unum par cultellorum cum manubrio de dugion. Compare also the following Anglo-Norman example, in which dogeon has alternatively been interpreted as a variant of dodekyn dodkin n.; however, the word appears in a list of miscellaneous items for which toll has been charged, so is unlikely to refer to a coin:1416 Rolls of Parl.: Henry V (Electronic ed.) Parl. Mar. 1416 §27. m. 7 Lez mair..et universitee..de Baion'..ount pris..de chescun mille de dogeon, la value de vi d. Engloys. Branches A. II. and B. II. probably arose from the idea that a dagger with a dudgeon haft was cheap and inferior (compare quots. 1590, a1612 at sense B. 1), but may possibly represent a different word. Compare also the allusive uses in quots. 1581 at sense B. 1, 1594, 1602 at sense B. 2. Now historical. A. n.¹ I. A kind of wood used to make knife handles, and related senses. 1. Wood of a kind formerly commonly used for the handles of knives, daggers, etc., and also to make bowls (cf. mazer n.¹ 1a).Used esp. to refer to wood having uneven grain, burrs, etc., or otherwise of poor quality.In quot. 1411 perhaps: a stave of wood. (It is not certain that this example shows the same word. Cf. also quot. 1416 in etymology.)
