释义 | hattockn.α. Scottish pre-1700 huttok; English regional (northern) 1800s huttoch, 1800s huttock. β. 1600s– hattock, 1800s attick; English regional (chiefly northern) 1800s attock, 1800s haddock. 1. Scottish. A little hat. Chiefly in horse and hattock: a cry said to be uttered by witches or fairies wishing to transport themselves (esp. magically) to another place; (later more generally) used to urge haste, esp. to riders mounting horses. Now rare.The phrase horse and hattock is first recorded in accounts of early witch trials, although its original literal meaning is likely to refer to putting on headgear and mounting a horse. It is used by Scott in quot. 1816, apparently quoting the Scots ballad ‘Jamie Telfer of the Fair Dodhead’, although the phrase does not appear in the version of the ballad recorded in his own Minstrelsy Sc.
