1876 G. M. Hopkins Wreck of Deutschland xxii, in Poems (1967) 58 Five! the finding and sake And cipher of suffering Christ.

1879 G. M. Hopkins Poems (1967) 80 Let him oh! with his air of angels then lift me, lay me! only I'll Have an eye to the sakes of him, quaint moonmarks, to his pelted plumage under Wings.

1879 G. M. Hopkins Lett. to R. Bridges (1955) 83 Sake is a word I find it convenient to use:..it is common in German, in the form sach. It is the sake of ‘for the sake of’... I mean by it the being a thing has outside itself, as a voice by its echo, a face by its reflection,..a man by his name, fame, or memory, and also that in the thing by virtue of which especially it has this being abroad,..as for a voice and echo clearness; for a reflected image light, brightness;..for a man genius, great achievements... In this case it is, as the sonnet says, distinctive quality in genius.

II. for the sake of (also †for sake of); for (one's, a thing's) sake.In the latter of these forms, the word which precedes sake is a possessive (noun or pronoun); but down to the middle of the 19th c. the 's of the possessive of common or abstract nouns was very commonly omitted (doubtless owing to the difficulty of pronouncing the two sibilants in succession), and from the 17th to the early 19th c. the two nouns were often connected by a hyphen, as if forming an attributive compound. The omission of the 's is now obsolete, but it is still not uncommon to write for conscience sake, for goodness sake, for righteousness sake, etc., without the apostrophe which is ordinarily used to mark the possessive of words ending in a sibilant.

The paragraphs marked β contain illustrations of the omission of the 's; some of the early examples there placed must be explained by the fact that the ns. occurring in them (e.g. soul) had originally no s in the genitive.

a. Out of consideration for; on account of one's interest in, or regard for (a person); on (a person's) account.

1846 C. M. Kirkland Western Clearings (new ed.) 78 ‘Law sakes alive!’ was the reply, ‘I ain't no how’.

1860 J. R. Bartlett Dict. Americanisms (ed. 3) (at cited word) ‘La sakes!’ ‘massy sakes!’ ‘sakes alive!’ are very common exclamations among the venerable matrons of the interior parts of the country. The first two expressions are evidently corruptions of ‘for the Lord's sake!’ ‘for mercy's sake!’

Hopkins Poems (1967) 80 Let him oh! with his air of angels then lift me, lay me! only I'll Have an eye to the sakes of him, quaint moonmarks, to his pelted plumage under Wings. 1879 G. M. Hopkins Lett. to R. Bridges (1955) 83 Sake is a word I find it convenient to use:..it is common in German, in the form sach. It is the sake of ‘for the sake of’... I mean by it the being a thing has outside itself, as a voice by its echo, a face by its reflection,..a man by his name, fame, or memory, and also that in the thing by virtue of which especially it has this being abroad,..as for a voice and echo clearness; for a reflected image light, brightness;..for a man genius, great achievements... In this case it is, as the sonnet says, distinctive quality in genius. II. for the sake of (also †for sake of); for (one's, a thing's) sake.In the latter of these forms, the word which precedes sake is a possessive (noun or pronoun); but down to the middle of the 19th c. the 's of the possessive of common or abstract nouns was very commonly omitted (doubtless owing to the difficulty of pronouncing the two sibilants in succession), and from the 17th to the early 19th c. the two nouns were often connected by a hyphen, as if forming an attributive compound. The omission of the 's is now obsolete, but it is still not uncommon to write for conscience sake, for goodness sake, for righteousness sake, etc., without the apostrophe which is ordinarily used to mark the possessive of words ending in a sibilant. The paragraphs marked β contain illustrations of the omission of the 's; some of the early examples there placed must be explained by the fact that the ns. occurring in them (e.g. soul) had originally no s in the genitive. 6. a. Out of consideration for; on account of one's interest in, or regard for (a person); on (a person's) account.
