miscellanyn.

Brit.

/mᵻˈsɛləni/, U.S.

/ˈmɪsəˌleɪni/,

/məˈsɛləni/

Forms: 1600s miscelany, 1600s miscellanie, 1600s misselanie, 1600s misselany, 1600s missellany, 1600s– miscellany, 1700s misellany.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Apparently partly a borrowing from French. Apparently partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French miscellanées; Latin miscellānea.

Etymology: Apparently < French miscellanées, plural (1570 in Middle French in sense 1) and its etymon classical Latin miscellānea (neuter plural: see miscellanea n.); with the ending compare succedany n., and also adjectival parallels listed s.v. miscellany adj. N.E.D. (1907) gives the pronunciation as (mi·sĕlăni, mise·lăni) /ˈmɪsələnɪ/ /mɪˈsɛlənɪ/. Early sources agree that primary stress fell originally on the first syllable. Several appear to state that the vowel of the third syllable was realized as a diphthong, rather than being reduced, which may suggest secondary stress (perhaps by analogy with miscellaneous adj.), but this is difficult to prove in any given instance: at any rate, Cent. Dict. (1890), which transcribes a diphthong, nonetheless agrees with the preferred transcription from N.E.D., which has a reduced vowel, in marking the third syllable as entirely unstressed. The pronunciation with stress on the second syllable arises by analogy with the stress pattern of other four-syllable words in -any (e.g. accompany v., Epiphany n.¹, mahogany n., etc.). Although it is not recorded in dictionaries until the early 20th cent., there are traces of some earlier occurrences (as implied, for example, in the anonymous 1855 pamphlet cited in Notes & Queries (1915) 11th Ser. 11 121). It has never gained great currency in North America, but by the end of the 20th cent. had become the dominant variant throughout the rest of the English-speaking world. For further discussion of the history of the word see J. Eckhardt and D. S. Smith (eds.) Manuscript Miscellanies in Early Modern England (2014).
