prudhommen.

Brit.

/ˈpruːdɒm/, U.S.

/pruˈdəm/

Forms: 1600s preudhomme, 1700s prode home, 1700s– prud'homme, 1800s– prudhomme.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French prud'homme.

Etymology: < French prud'homme, prudhomme man of valour (c1100 in Anglo-Norman as prozdome ), expert well versed in a trade who is given certain duties, e.g. testifying in law or assessing the worth of something (1260 in Old French as preud'ome ), expert in certain areas (1671 as prud'homme ), member of an industrial tribunal (1806), ultimately < proz or its etymon post-classical Latin prode (see proud adj.) and homme (see homme n.), although the exact nature of the compound is uncertain and disputed (perhaps < proz + de de prep. + homme ). Compare also Middle French, French †preudefemme woman of merit (13th cent. in Old French; 12th cent. in Old French as prodefemme , prudefemme ). Compare earlier prudhommie n. Compare also prude n.Compare Old Occitan prodom, prozom (12th cent.), prohom (13th cent.), Catalan prohom, †prom (13th cent.), Spanish †prodomne (c1200), †proomne (c1230), prohombre (1385), Italian †produomo (14th cent.). Earlier currency of the word is apparently implied by surnames (e.g. Johannes Prodhome (1275)), although it is uncertain whether these should be interpreted as showing the Middle English or Anglo-Norman word. N.E.D. (1909) gives the non-naturalized pronunciation (prüdom) /prydɒm/.
