Jew's stonen.

Brit.

/ˈdʒuː(z) stəʊn/, U.S.

/ˈdʒu(z) ˌstoʊn/

Forms:

α. 1500s–1600s Iewes stone, 1600s Iews stone, 1600s–1700s Jews stone, 1800s Jews' stone (English regional (south-western)), 1800s– Jew's stone.

β. 1600s–1800s Jewstone.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Jew n., stone n.

Etymology: In α. forms < the genitive of Jew n. + stone n. In β. forms < Jew n. + stone n.In sense 1 after German Judenstein (1577 in the passage translated in quot. 1598) and its model post-classical Latin lapis Judaicus (13th cent. in this sense: Lanfranc Cirurgie 278), itself after Hellenistic Greek Ιουδαῐκὸς λίθος ; compare Middle French, French pierre Judaique (1572 or earlier), with reference to the place of origin of these fossils, which is situated in present-day southern Lebanon. Compare slightly earlier Jewish stone n. at Jewish adj. Compounds. The development of senses 2 - 4 is uncertain. The etymology of marcasite n. suggests transmission of specimens from the eastern Mediterranean, supporting Minsheu's otherwise unconfirmed claim that post-classical Latin lapis Judaicus was used in sense 2 because the marcasite was first discovered in Judaea; compare also the use of lapis Judaicus for another precious stone, the agate, in a 14th-century British source. Sense 3 may originate with reference to the supposed obduracy of the Jewish people, but G. Agricola De natura fossilium (1546) 310 states that a certain hard roadstone found near Hildesheim has a lustre like that of lapis Judaicus . Sense 4 may originate in a paraphrase of references to the excellence of ancient Jewish gem-engraving in C. Leonardi Speculum lapidum (1502) III. ii and iii.

1. The spine of a fossil sea urchin, formerly used medicinally to treat disorders of the kidneys and bladder; = Jewish stone n. at Jewish adj. Compounds. Now historical.
