kitchenn.1 Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin cocina Etymology: < post-classical Latin cocina (4th cent.), cucina (in an undated glossary), variants of classical Latin coquīna art of cookery (2nd cent. a.d. in Apuleius), in post-classical Latin also kitchen (4th cent.), food, allowance of food (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources; 13th cent. in continental sources) < coquus cook n.1 + -īna -ine suffix4. Similar, or perhaps shared, borrowing is shown by forms in other West Germanic languages: Old Frisian kōkene , kōkne , (in compounds)-kōken (West Frisian koken ), Middle Dutch cōkene , cōken , kuekene (Dutch keuken ), Middle Low German kȫkene , kȫke , Old High German kuchina (Middle High German kuchene , küche , kuche , German Küche ); compare also ( < Middle Low German) Norwegian kjøkken , (Nynorsk) kjøken , kjøk , Old Swedish kökia , (in compounds) köken- (Swedish kök ), Danish køkken . Compare cuisine n.Notes on foreign language parallels. Forms in Middle Low German and Middle High German without final -n (and forms developed or borrowed from these) reflect a newly-formed nominative form arising from reinterpretation of the original -n of the nominative as an inflectional ending. Compare also Old High German kuchīn (12th cent.; Middle High German kuchīn , kuchein , early modern German kuchin , kuchein ), reflecting a native Germanic suffix. Notes on Old English. The Old English form of the word reflects early English sound changes, supporting an early date of borrowing from Latin. These include palatalization and assibilation of the medial plosive before i of the following syllable, although the affricate is not reflected in Old English spelling (-c- ); compare early Middle English cuchene at β. forms, etc. Notes on forms. The vowel of the first syllable in the Middle English forms shows the expected regional development of Old English short y , reflex of the i-mutation of u (itself the expected reflex of classical Latin short o before i of the following syllable in early borrowings from Latin). Notes on senses. It has been suggested that sense 8 reflects the former existence of gaming tables in the kitchens of the Casino de Monte Carlo for the use of its employees; however, evidence to support this suggestion appears to be lacking, and it is more likely to reflect a specific figurative use of the type given in sense 5a, reflecting a perception that these public rooms were typically noisy, chaotic, or frequented by the lower classes (it is apparently an English coinage as there appears to be no evidence of a preceding similar use of French cuisine ). With use with reference to the percussion section of an orchestra (see sense 9) perhaps partly a figurative use relating to noisiness (compare sense 5a) and perhaps partly also reflecting a supposed similarity between percussion instruments and kitchen implements; compare e.g. kettledrum n., kettle n. 5, pan n.1 12, washboard n. 3c, etc. 1. the world > food and drink > food > food manufacture and preparation > equipment for food preparation > cooking establishment or kitchen > [noun] α. eOE Cleopatra Gloss. in W.

This entry has been updated (OED Third Edition, September 2020; most recently modified version published online June 2022). kitchenn.2Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: kitchen n.1 Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps a specific sense development of kitchen n.1, although if so the semantic motivation for this is unclear.It has been suggested that the motivating factor for this sense development may be that the nape of the neck was thought to resemble the kitchen of a house in some way, e.g. in being located at the back, in being considered untidy or unpresentable, or in being associated with heat and hard work (hair at the nape of the neck being difficult to untangle and straighten). It has also been suggested that this word may have arisen either by association with kinch n. 1 (compare also kink n.1) or as an alteration of it. However, this is difficult to reconcile with the fact that kinch n. is chiefly a Scots word. Perhaps compare the following isolated instance of kitchen in another specific meaning recorded from Texas, although the motivation for this use is also uncertain (perhaps compare kinch vb. at kinch n.
