pasternn. Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French pasturon. Etymology: < Old French, Middle French pasturon part of a horse's foot between fetlock and hoof (although this is first attested slightly later: 1316–40; compare Middle French (Normandy) pasturon fetter for prisoners' feet (1345), French regional (Walloon) pasturon shackle for a horse; French paturon , pâturon ) < pasture (see below) + -on , diminutive suffix (compare -oon suffix). Old French, Middle French pasture shackle for a horse's foot (c1220 in Old French (Picardy)), part of a horse's or bovine animal's foot between fetlock and hoof (1340; French pâture (now regional (Normandy, Walloon)) is < (with suffix substitution: compare -ure suffix1) post-classical Latin pastoria shackle for a pastured animal's foot, tether (7th cent.), use as noun of feminine of classical Latin pāstōrius of or belonging to a shepherd (see pastory n. and adj.). Compare post-classical Latin pastron-, pastro (c1250, 1286, 1303 in British sources), pastronus (1329, 1339 in British sources).Although the earliest attestations (compare e.g. quots. 1284, ?c1343, 1347-8 at sense 1) show the word in a Latin context and could conceivably show either the English or the French word, they probably represent Middle English examples, as the word is apparently not attested in disyllabic forms with syncope of the medial syllable in French. the world > food and drink > farming > animal husbandry > general equipment > [noun] > hobble or fetter 1284 Bd.97 No.3 Pro vij paribus de Pastrons emptis pro eisdem [sc. equis], xiiij d. ?c1343 in J.
