† a-cock-hyeadv.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: a prep.¹, cock v.¹, English hye , high adv.

Etymology: Apparently < a prep.¹ + cock v.¹ + hye, variant of high adv.; with the first element compare later acock adv. Compare earlier a-cock-bill adv. N.E.D. (1891) misinterpreted a cockhye as indefinite article plus noun, and proposed the (tentative) definition ‘some kind of arrow’ (comparing cock feather n.).

Obsolete.

Probably: high up, straight up high.
