† hoxn.¹

Etymology: apparently shortened from a fuller form *hoxen (retained in hockshin n., huckson , huxen n.), representing Old English hóhsinu , plural hóhsina , hough-sinew n., and corresponding to Old Norse hásin , Old Frisian hôxene , hoxne , Old High German *hâhsina , hâhsna , Middle Dutch haessene , haasen (Kilian haessen ), Dutch haassen , haasse , haas , in Groningen haoks , in same sense. Compare hoxen v.The final -en of *hox-en may have been taken in Middle English as a plural ending (the Old English plural hóhsina would give Middle English *hoȝsin , *hoxen ), and a singular hox deduced from it (compare chick n.¹).

Obsolete. rare.

A hamstring.

ΚΠ

1985 C. P. Hart et al. in Cell 43 10/1 The restriction map of three of the homeo-box-containing phages showed them to constitute an overlapping that covered approximately 40kb of the mouse genome. This locus has been named Hox-2 (the second homeo box region described in the mouse genome).

1988 Mouse News Let. Nov. 149 This new murine Hox gene..is expressed in the neural crest, in the mandibular arch and in the mesenchymal tissue that derive from it.

1992 New Scientist 19 Sept. 41/1 Tampering with Hox genes in the fruit fly generally changes the identities of body segments, producing severe developmental abnormalities.

1993 Cell 73 282/2 In the HoxB complex, Hoxb-2 (Hox-2.8) has an anterior boundary that maps to the basioccipital bone.

1995 Nature 22 June 678/1 As the autopods (hands and feet) develop, Hoxd expression extends to most anterior and distal parts.

2000 C. Tudge Variety of Life ii. v. 183 In general, the visible complexity of animals is reflected in the number and complexity of their Hox genes.
