/ˈɡrɑːsˌhɒp/,

/ˈɡrasˌhɒp/, U.S.

/ˈɡræsˌhɑp/

Forms:

α. early Old English greshoppæ, early Old English gressophe (transmission error), Old English græshoppa (Mercian, plural), Old English græshoppan (inflected form), early Middle English greshopa, early Middle English gresshoppe ( Ormulum), Middle English grashope, Middle English greshope, Middle English greshoppe, Middle English gressehope, Middle English gresshop, Middle English gresshope, Middle English–1500s greshop, Middle English–1500s grishop, late Middle English–1500s grassehoppe, late Middle English 1800s– grasshop, 1500s–1600s grashop.

β. early Old English gereshoppe (Mercian), early Old English gershoppe (Mercian), Old English gærshoppa, Old English gærshoppe, Old English gershoppan (inflected form), Middle English gershoppes (plural).

γ. early Middle English gresseoppe, Middle English gressope, Middle English–1500s gressop, Middle English–1500s grysope, 1500s grassoppe, 1500s gressoppe.

δ. late Middle English gyrssoppe.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Swedish gräshoppa grasshopper, locust (Swedish gräshoppa ), Old Danish græshoppe , græshop grasshopper (Danish græshoppe ) < the Germanic base of grass n.¹ + the Germanic base of hop v.¹; compare grasshopper n. and the Germanic parallels cited at that entry.Old English -hoppa (weak masculine) and -hoppe (weak feminine) are regularly formed < hoppian hop v.¹ Compare similarly formed gærsstapa grasshopper, locust (compare step v.), which is more frequently attested in Old English. The existence of (unattested) continental West Germanic cognates is perhaps suggested by the West Germanic parallels cited at grasshopper n., if these are taken as resulting from remodelling (with -er suffix¹) of earlier forms; compare the currency of both form types in English and Swedish. However, the late date of attestation of the continental West Germanic parallels of grasshopper n. makes this assumption very uncertain. Recent α. forms perhaps reflect shortening < grasshopper n. rather than continuity from early modern English use. Use translating Latin locusta. In early use frequently translating classical Latin locusta in biblical and related contexts; compare discussion of the meaning of the word in these contexts at locust n.

Now rare (now chiefly North American).

A locust; (more widely) a grasshopper.In quot. c1175¹: (perhaps) a cicada, cf. cicada n.
