释义

houndn.1

Brit. /haʊnd/, U.S. /haʊnd/
Forms: Old English–1500s hund, (Middle English hond, Middle English–1500s hunde, hounde, Middle English–1600s hownd, hownde; Middle English howne, 1500s hown, 1600s huin), Middle English– hound.
Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Common Germanic: Old English hund = Old Frisian hund, hond, Old Saxon hund (Low German hund, Middle Dutch hont (d-), Dutch hond), Old High German hunt (d-), (Middle High German hunt, German hund), Old Norse hundr (Swedish, Danish hund), Gothic hunds < Old Germanic *hundo-z, generally held to be a derivative of base *hun-, pre-Germanic *kun-, in Greek κύων, κυν-, Sanskrit çwan-, çun-, Lithuanian szů, szun-, Old Irish cu dog; compare also Latin canis. For the d (dh) of Germanic hund, the suggestion has been made of association with the verb hinþan to seize, as if the word were understood to mean ‘the seizer’.

houndn.2

Brit. /haʊnd/, U.S. /haʊnd/
Origin: Apparently a borrowing from early Scandinavian.
Etymology: apparently a corruption of an earlier *houn , early Middle English hūn , < Old Norse húnn ‘knob’, especially ‘the knob at the top of the mast-head’. Compare the synonymous huin , hune n. from French. (The final -d is excrescent, as in horehound , sound , etc., assisted by assimilation to hound n.1, which conversely was sometimes made hown, houne.) Hound is less likely to be from the French hune, since ou represents a Middle English ū, not ǖ.
1. Nautical. A projection or cheek, of which one or more are fayed to the sides of the masthead to serve as supports for the trestle-trees; see also quot. 1627.
