hacklen.1 Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: Cognate with Old Saxon hakul cloak, chasuble (Middle Low German -hakel in mishakel chasuble), Old High German hachul cloak, chasuble (Middle High German hachel cloak), Old Icelandic hǫkull priest's cope, Gothic hakuls cloak (all strong masculine), and also (with a different form of the suffix causing i-mutation of the stem vowel) Old Frisian hexil cloak (of uncertain stem class and gender), Old Icelandic hekla cowled or hooded frock (strong feminine) < a Germanic base of uncertain origin (see note) + a derivative suffix (compare -le suffix). Compare mass-hackle n. at mass n.1 Compounds 2 and also mist-hackle n. at mist n.1 Compounds 2.Further etymology. It is often suggested that the underlying Germanic base is related to Old Church Slavonic koža skin, itself < the Slavonic base of koza she-goat, which is of uncertain (probably non-Indo-European) origin; however, this poses formal problems. Alternatively, it has been suggested that the Germanic base is the same as that of Old Icelandic haki hook (see hake n.2), used with reference to the fastening. Form history. In Old English usually a weak feminine, although strong plural forms are attested in late Old English for the compound mæssehacele (see mass-hackle n. at mass n.1 Compounds 2). The β. forms are typically Anglian. Forms such as early Old English haecile, etc., seem to show substitution of a form of the suffix causing i-mutation of a (and probably also palatalization of the medial consonant) within Old English, rather than being directly comparable to the cited Old Frisian and Old Icelandic parallels with i-mutation, while Old English hecile may reflect subsequent second fronting in Mercian. society > faith > artefacts > vestments > outer garments > [noun] > cassock or soutane the world > textiles and clothing > clothing > types or styles of clothing > clothing for body or trunk (and limbs) > [noun] > loose clothing > cloak, mantle, or cape eOE tr.
