Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English ōxta.
Etymology: Apparently a variant (perhaps after an early Scandinavian cognate: see below) of an unattested Middle English reflex of Old English ōxta, ōhsta (earlier ōcusta ) < a suffixed form of the Germanic base of Old Saxon ōhasa , Old High German uohasa , uohhisa (Middle High German uohse , üehse ; compare with different suffixation Old English ōxn , Old High German uohsana , uohsina , and also Germanic forms cited at okselle n.) < an ablaut variant of the Germanic base of ax n. The -r of the final syllable is difficult to explain; perhaps compare Norwegian regional oster (feminine; now rare) the throat, the hollow above the collarbone, alongside Old Icelandic óstr, masculine (Icelandic hóstur; also hóst, óst, feminine or neuter), Faroese óstur, neuter, all in the same sense.
Chiefly English regional (northern), Scottish, Irish English, and Manx English.
