释义

mattien.

Brit. /ˈmati/, /ˈmatʃi/, U.S. /ˈmædi/, /ˈmætʃi/
Forms:

α. Scottish 1700s markiss (transmission error), 1700s matkie, 1700s matkiss.

β. 1700s– matje; Scottish 1800s– matje, 1900s– Matja, 1900s– mattje.

γ. 1800s– matie, 1800s– mattie, 1800s– maty; English regional 1800s– matie (East Anglian); Scottish 1800s– matie, 1800s– mattie.

δ. Scottish 1900s– madgie (north-eastern), 1900s– matchie (Shetland).

Origin: A borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch maatjes.
Etymology: Partly < Dutch maatjes (1667 as †maetjes ), short for maatjesharing ( > German regional (Low German) Maatjes-hering (18th cent.)), alteration of early modern Dutch maetgens haringh (1604), maeghdekens haerinck (1599), Middle Dutch medykens hering , meeckens hering (1466–7) < Middle Dutch māgedekijn girl ( < māghet maiden n. + -kijn , diminutive suffix: compare -kin suffix) + harinc herring n.; and partly < the similarly formed German regional (Low German) Madikes-hering (Middle Low German mādikes hērink ). Compare maid n.1 8, maiden n. 5, and fair maid n. 2.The -s of the Dutch and Low German forms was probably originally interpreted as the plural suffix, whence English singular forms without -s . The wide variation in forms suggests that independent borrowing may have occurred over a long period. The α. forms represent a borrowing of a form with -k- of the diminutive suffix intact (compare German regional (Bremen) madikes-hering ); the γ. forms and δ. forms reflect differing pronunciations of Dutch or Low German maatje ; in all of these forms the ending has been assimilated to -y suffix6. The γ. forms reflect a lesser degree of assimilation than the others, and in recent use probably represent an independent English shortening of matjes herring n.
A young herring in which the roe or milt is not fully developed, esp. one which has been salted or pickled at this stage. Also more generally: any salted or pickled (filleted) herring. Also more fully mattie herring.In quot. 1721 at α. used allusively as a mock form of address to the Netherlands.
