Origin: A borrowing from early Scandinavian.
Etymology: < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic mágr (Icelandic mágur ), Norwegian måg , Old Swedish magher close male relative by marriage, male in-law (Swedish måg brother-in-law (now obsolete in this sense), son-in-law), Danish maag close male relative by marriage, male in-law) < the Germanic base of Old English mǣg may n.1Recorded in Middle English texts from northern and east-midland counties. Also attested in Middle English surnames from Nottinghamshire, as Robert le Mough (1316–17), Robert le Mogh (1335–6). Middle Eng. Dict. s.v. moue n.1 interprets the word in quot. a14001 at sense 1 as an instance of mowe n., although it in fact renders the accusative plural of Latin gener (prospective) son-in-law in the Vulgate. The unusual form mohwes is perhaps a compromise spelling, mixing the consonantal ending of the singular (compare magh, mog) with the vocalism of the plural (compare maues). Eng. Dial. Dict. records the word from Yorkshire and Durham. Compare A. E. Pease Dict. Dial. N. Riding of Yorks. (1928) 81/2 ‘A word often used during most of my life but apparently becoming rare in Cl[eveland]’.
English regional (northern) in later use. Now rare.
1. A near (male) relation by marriage; esp. a brother-in-law or a son-in-law.
