† plectren.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French plectre.

Etymology: < French plectre (14th cent. in Middle French) < classical Latin plectrum (see plectrum n.). Compare Spanish plectro (a1575), Portuguese plectro (c1560), Italian plettro (mid 14th cent. or earlier; also as †plectro (a1494)). Compare earlier plectrum n.The probable immediate French source of quot. 1603 reads poinson (compare puncheon n.¹), but the Latin version Holland may have consulted has plectrum and Plutarch's Greek original πλῆκτρον (see plectrum n.). N.E.D. (1907) gives the pronunciation as (ple·ktəɹ) /ˈplɛktə(r)/.
