† primgapn.

Forms:

α. late Middle English primegapp (in a late copy), 1800s primegap.

β. 1600s primgapp, 1600s–1800s primgap.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: prime adj., gap n.¹

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < prime adj. + gap n.¹Quot. 1794 is apparently a copy of a late 15th-cent. document, but the original has not been traced. Eng. Dial. Dict. at cited word also records a form prymegap . This is probably a normalization of prymegappe , which is recorded by T. Tapping (in the source cited in quot. 1851) as a variant spelling; the latter form appears to come from a 17th- or 18th-cent. source, but cannot be dated precisely, as Tapping does not give a source for it.

English regional (Derbyshire). Obsolete.

In Derbyshire lead mining: a short length of lead-bearing vein lying on the boundary of two properties or jurisdictions.
