obsequyn.¹

Brit.

/ˈɒbsᵻkwi/, U.S.

/ˈɑbsəkwi/

Forms: Plural Middle English obsequens (transmission error), Middle English obsequias, Middle English– obsequies, late Middle English obseqims (transmission error), late Middle English obsiquyes, late Middle English–1600s obsequyes, 1500s obsecuyce, 1500s obsequeies, 1500s obsiquies, 1500s–1600s obseques, 1700s obsequys; also Scottish pre-1700 obsequees, pre-1700 obsequeis, pre-1700 obsequies, pre-1700 obsequijs, pre-1700 obsequis, pre-1700 obsequyis. Singular late Middle English–1500s obsequye, late Middle English–1600s obseque, 1500s obsequi, 1500s oseque (perhaps transmission error), 1500s osequye (perhaps transmission error), 1500s–1700s obsequie, 1500s– obsequy; N.E.D. (1902) also records a form late Middle English obsequy.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French obsequies, obseque; Latin obsequium, obsequiae.

Etymology: Partly < Anglo-Norman obsequies (plural; first half of the 14th cent. or earlier), Middle French obseques funeral rite (plural; c1175 in Old French; French obsèques), Anglo-Norman and Middle French obseque funeral rite (singular; c1175 in Old French; attested earlier as oseque (c1150)), and partly < their etymons classical Latin obsequium (singular) funeral and post-classical Latin obsequiae (plural) funeral rites (see below). Both the French and the English words apparently reflect both Latin words.Classical Latin obsequium (2nd cent. a.d. in Apuleius in fērālia obsequia (plural) funeral rites) shows a specific sense development of obsequium obsequy n.², apparently arising from the sense ‘dutiful service’ (in this case, to the dead). Post-classical Latin obsequiae , which occurs as a variant reading alongside exsequiae in an 8th-cent. text, but also in manuscripts of classical Latin authors, is probably an alteration of classical Latin exsequiae funeral rites (see exequy n.), after classical Latin obsequium obsequy n.² In form obsequias (see quot. c1385 at sense a), probably after post-classical Latin obsequias, accusative corresponding to obsequiae; compare also Old Occitan obsequias (c1300).

A funeral rite or ceremony; a funeral. Also: a commemorative rite or service (performed at the grave of the deceased or elsewhere) (now rare).

a. In plural.
