lintwhiten.

Brit.

/ˈlɪntwʌɪt/,

/ˈlɪnthwʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈlɪnt(h)waɪt/, Scottish English

/ˈlɪnthwʌit/

Forms: Old English línaethuígae, línetuíge, -twíge, Middle English lynkwhytte, 1500s lyntquhit, lyntquhyte, 1600s– lintwhite.

Etymology: Old English línetwíge , perhaps < lín flax + -twíge (? cognate with Old High German zwigôn to pluck, vellere , carpere ), found also in þisteltwíge thistle finch. Compare twite n.The etymology involves a difficulty because the first element appears as líne- (or línæ- ) instead of lín ; but the correspondence in sense with the Romanic name of the bird (see linnet n.) is in favour of its correctness. Apart from etymology there is no evidence that the first vowel in the Old English word was long.

Chiefly Scottish.
