minxn.

Brit.

/mɪŋks/, U.S.

/mɪŋks/

Forms: 1500s mynxe, 1500s–1600s mincks, 1500s–1600s minkes, 1500s–1600s minxe, 1500s–1700s minks, 1500s–1700s mynx, 1500s– minx, 1600s minckes, 1600s mynkes.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Perhaps a borrowing from Dutch. Perhaps a borrowing from Low German. Etymons: minikin n.¹, -s suffix²; Dutch mensch, Low German minsk.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps < an altered form of minikin n.¹ + -s suffix² (compare e.g. the form Minckins s.v. minikin n.¹, and compare mawks n.), or perhaps in sense 2 < early modern Dutch mensch (compare Middle Dutch forms minsc , minsce , minsch ) or Low German minsk, minsch (Middle Low German minsche : see mannish n.), both used in neuter as derogatory terms for a woman (compare Middle Low German dat junge minsche girl, frequently in derogatory use).A borrowing < early modern Dutch menschken , diminutive of mensch , has also been suggested for sense 1, but this is rather remote in form. The use of the word in quots. 1542¹ at sense 1, 1542² at sense 1 does not correspond closely to anything in Erasmus's text: ‘Sunt autem canum multa genera..sunt qui habentur in delitiis..Esuriens, inquiens, Melitaeus’ ( Apophthegmata III. xxxv).

†1. A pet dog. Obsolete.In quot. 1606 used as a proper name for a dog.
