† gainpainn.

Forms: In ? 1500s gaynepayne.

Etymology: < Old French gaignepain (in 13th cent. wagnepan ) a sort of gauntlet. Commonly identified with the French gagnepain , lit. ‘bread-winner’ ( < stem of gagner gain v.² + pain bread), which is recorded from the 17th cent. in the sense ‘tool by which one gains one's bread’, but is probably of much older formation, as it appears c1320 in English as weine pain ( Sir Beues 926: see waynpain n.²), in the sense ‘man who has to earn his bread’. This derivation does not seem to suit the sense ‘gauntlet’, and perhaps two distinct words have been confounded by popular etymology; the sense of ‘sword’ is hardly authenticated even in French; if genuine, it may well have been a casual application of the surviving word.

Obsolete.

1. A sort of gauntlet.
