princockn.

Brit.

/ˈprɪnkɒk/,

/ˈprɪŋkɒk/, U.S.

/ˈprɪnˌkɑk/,

/ˈprɪŋˌkɑk/

Forms:

α. 1500s princkoxe, 1500s princockes, 1500s princoks, 1500s princoxe, 1500s prinkockes, 1500s prinkox, 1500s pryncockes, 1500s pryncoks, 1500s pryncox, 1500s–1600s princkocks, 1500s–1600s princocks, 1500s– princox, 1600s primecocks.

β. 1500s primcock, 1500s prynkoke, 1500s–1600s princocke, 1500s– princock, 1600s primecock, 1600s primecocke, 1600s princkocke, 1800s princycock (English regional (northern)).

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: an element of uncertain origin, cock n.¹

Etymology: In α. forms apparently < a first element of uncertain origin (see note) + the plural of cock n.¹ In β. forms apparently < a first element of uncertain origin + cock n.¹It has been suggested that the first element may be prime adj., with the forms in prin- resulting from assimilation; however, forms in prim- , prime- are only attested relatively late (in the late 16th and early 17th centuries), and much more likely to be learned reanalyses influenced by prime adj.; the suggestion that the word represents a misapprehended borrowing of classical Latin praecox precoce adj. appears similarly unlikely. On semantic grounds as well as because of the early occurrence of the α. forms (which seem unlikely to have been formed with the fairly recent suffix -s suffix²), it seems more likely that the second element is cock n.¹ than -cock , hypocoristic suffix (compare nodcock n., Plotcock n., and see discussion at cock n.¹ and int.). Compare pillicock n. 2, coxcomb n. 4, and the frequent transferred use of words denoting the male sexual organ to refer to boys or men; compare also the other words denoting a male sexual organ in quot. 1540 at α. . In form princycock apparently influenced by prince n.

In later use English regional (northern) and historical.

Chiefly humorous or derogatory. A pert, saucy, vain, or insolent boy or young man; a coxcomb.
