Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French reynard.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman reynard, Anglo-Norman and Middle French renard, renart, Middle French regnard, regnart (French renard ) fox (13th cent. in Old French), originally the proper name of the protagonist (a fox) in the Roman de Renard. The name is ultimately of Germanic origin, cognate with the modern German personal name Reinhart (Old High German Raginhart ). The β. forms reflect assimilation to the reflexes of a different Germanic personal name, reflected by the modern English personal names Reginald and Reynold and the surname Reynolds (in the modern form Reynolds punningly after the surname: compare quots. 1815, 1875, 1896 at sense 1β. ); compare the Old High German form Raginald , modern German Reinold . In sense 2 after French Renard (1681 in this sense), after Huron Skenchiohronon , literally ‘people of the red fox’ (1640); compare French Ouagoussac (1673), rendering Meskwaki *wa·kose·haki foxes, given as one of four Meskwaki clans (now wa·koše·haki : compare Meskwaki n.); compare slightly earlier fox n.In Caxton's influential work (see quot. 1481 at sense 1α. ) immediately rendering Middle Dutch Reynaerd-, Reynaert in his original. N.E.D. (1908) also gives the pronunciation (rēi·năɹd) /ˈreɪnəd/.
1. A proper name applied traditionally (chiefly in literature) to: a fox; also occasionally as a common noun. More fully Reynard the Fox.Also formerly (esp. regional in β form) with Master or Mister prefixed.The fable tradition centred on Reynard the Fox is thought to have originated in Alsace-Lorraine and spread to France, the Low Countries, and Germany. The earliest literary treatments of Reynard are the mid-12th cent. Latin Ysengrimus of Nivardus of Ghent and the late 12th cent. Old French Roman de Renart. Caxton's translation of the Middle Dutch version made the stories widely known in England, although earlier familiarity with them is shown by the currency of the name.
