/ˈhabədɪn/

Forms: Middle English–1500s haburden(ne, Middle English–1600s haberdyne, 1500s haberden, haberdyn, 1500s–1600s habberdine, haberdin, haberdeen, 1600s–1700s habberdin, habberdyn, 1500s–1800s haberdine, 1800s haberdden.

Etymology: The same word as Middle Dutch abberdaen (Dutch abberdaan), variant of labberdaen, supposed by De Vries to be derived from the name of a Basque district, the tractus Lapurdanus, French le Labourd, or < Lapurdum ancient name of Bayonne; the Basques having been the first to engage in the cod-fishery. The loss of l- points to the passing of the word through French: Godefroy has Labordean1577; Cotgrave has abordean, habordean, labordean; but earlier evidence for the word in French is wanting.

Obsolete.

a. The name of a large sort of cod, used esp. for salting; salt or sun-dried cod. It was sometimes formerly considered a different species from the common cod and classified as Asellus Islandicus.
