Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: owl n., glass n.¹

Etymology: < owl n. + glass n.¹, as English form of the name of Till Eulenspiegel, a legendary German jester and trickster (perhaps based on a historical figure of the early 14th cent.), after the apparent meaning of the German name (taken to show Eule owl n. and Spiegel mirror); some forms apparently show also the influence of howlet n. and perhaps also of holly n. or holy adj. Compare Owl-spiegle n., Owlspiegle v.Anecdotes about the pranks played by Till Eulenspiegel, especially on figures of authority, appeared in print in German in c1510 ( Ein kurtzweilig Lesen von Dil Ulenspiegel).

Now rare.

(An Anglicization of the name of) the legendary German jester Till Eulenspiegel, the type of a roguish fool; (hence) a jester; a buffoon. Also occasionally as a more general term of abuse.
