siblingn.

Brit.

/ˈsɪblɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈsɪblɪŋ/

Forms: Old English sybling, Old English–early Middle English 1800s– sibling, late Middle English siblyng.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: sib adj., -ling suffix¹.

Etymology: < sib adj. + -ling suffix¹.In Old English the prefixed form gesibling ( < ysibbe adj. + -ling suffix¹) is also attested in the sense ‘relation’ (compare sense 1), but is less common; the existence of this parallel form supports derivation of the present word from the adjective (sib adj.) rather than the noun (sib n.¹). In sense 2 reintroduced by Karl Pearson (see Pearson n.); compare:1900 K. Pearson in Proc. Royal Soc. 1899–1900 66 157 (footnote) Every writer on heredity must have felt the inconvenience of our language having preserved no word for either member of a pair of offspring of either or both sexes from the same parent. After some hesitation, I have ventured to reintroduce a good Anglo-Saxon word with this sense.

†1. A person who is related to another or others by blood or marriage; a relation. Cf. sib n.² 2. Obsolete.
