pigsneyn.

Brit.

/ˈpɪɡzni/, U.S.

/ˈpɪɡzni/

Forms: Middle English piggisnye, Middle English–1500s piggesnye, Middle English–1500s pyggesnye, 1500s pigesnie, 1500s piggesny, 1500s pyggysny, 1500s pygsnie, 1500s pygsnye, 1500s–1700s 1900s– pigsnye, 1500s– pigsney, 1500s– pigsnie, 1500s– pigsny, 1600s pignie, 1600s–1700s pigsneye. N.E.D. (1906) also records a form Middle English piggesneyȝe.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pig n.¹, English nye , eye n.¹

Etymology: < the genitive of pig n.¹ + nye, variant of eye n.¹ (see forms at that entry); probably originating in children's talk or as a nursery endearment (compare nykin n., nylet n.). Compare pig's eye n. In form pignie < pig n.¹ + nye (see above).The semantic motivation for the compound is uncertain and disputed. Although bird's-nie n. and pinkany n. are similarly used as terms of endearment, neither they nor the literal sense 2 are attested until later. Alternatively, it has frequently been suggested (e.g. by Middle Eng. Dict. at pigges-nie) that piggesnye in quot. c1390 at sense 1a may have been a flower name (compare prymerole primerole n. in the same quot.), but it is uncertain which flower is intended, and the suggested English and U.S. regional parallels (see Eng. Dial. Dict. at pig n.¹ and Dict. Amer. Regional Eng. at pig's eye) are only attested much later (19th and 20th centuries). See further Riverside Chaucer (1987) 844–5.

Now rare.

a. A specially cherished or beloved girl or woman, a sweetheart. Frequently as a term of endearment. In later use also as a term of contempt. Now archaic.
