red-shortn.adj.

Brit.

/ˌrɛdˈʃɔːt/, U.S.

/ˈˌrɛdˈʃɔrt/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps modelled on a Danish lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a Swedish lexical item. Etymons: red adj., short adj.

Etymology: < red adj. + short adj. (see short adj. 21), perhaps after the adjectives Danish rødskør, †rødskjør (a1719) or Swedish rödskör (although this is apparently first attested later: 1782). Compare earlier cold-short adj. and discussion at that entry. With use as noun compare earlier red-sear n. With use as adjective compare earlier redshire adj., later red-sear adj., and also later hot short adj.Danish rødskør and Swedish rödskör are from Danish rød , Swedish röd red adj. + Danish skør brittle (already in Old Danish in sense ‘unchaste, morally bad’), Swedish skör brittle (1633 with reference to metals; Old Swedish skör , skyr , with reference to non-metallic materials). The further etymology of the respective second elements is uncertain; they may be < an unattested Middle Low German adjective meaning ‘brittle’ < the Germanic base of shear v.; compare discussion at short adj.

Founding.

A. n.

Iron or steel that is brittle when red-hot (see sense B.); the defect represented by this. Now rare.

ΚΠ

1730 Beware of Bubbles 2 Mr. Wood in his paper says there are four sorts of Iron viz. Redshort, Coldshort, Best-tough, and Ordinary tough.

1795 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 85 342 There is another variety called red short, which is malleable when cold, but brittle when ignited.

1971 W. K. V. Gale Iron & Steel Industry: Dict. Terms 167 Red short (hot short), a fault in wrought iron caused by excess of sulphur, which causes the iron to be brittle when hot and thus difficult to work...These terms are becoming obsolete but are still sometimes applied to steel.

B. adj.

Designating iron and steel that is brittle when red-hot, typically because of an excess of sulphur in the metal. Opposed to cold-short. Cf. hot short adj.

1784 J. Dalrymple Addr. & Proposals 5 By the mode of working now in practice, red short pig produces red short bars, and cold short pig produces cold short bars.

1824 Mechanic's Mag. No. 52. 383 Notwithstanding the superior quality of this iron, the bars made from it were..so completely red-short, as to drop asunder.

1857 Mining Mag. Jan. 119 It is maintained, with some reason, that the boiled iron is more inclined to the red-short quality than iron otherwise prepared.

1884 W. H. Greenwood Steel & Iron x. 208 Antimony..produces when present in small quantities in malleable iron, a metal which is both cold-short and red-short.

1922 R. A. Hadfield Metall. Iron & Steel iii. 13 Sulphur, on the other hand, causes the metal to be ‘red short’, i.e. brittle or liable to crack between red heat and welding temperature.

1964 W. Steeds Engin. Materials, Machine Tools & Processes (ed. 4) ii. 42 The heat treatment will determine whether the steel will be red short or not.

2004 J. Bezís-Selfa Forging Amer. i. 37 Often forgemen had to work with pig iron that they called ‘red-short’..or ‘cold short’.
