sonnetn.

Brit.

/ˈsɒnᵻt/, U.S.

/ˈsɑnət/

Forms: Middle English–1600s sonet, 1500s sonette, 1500s sonnete, 1500s–1600s sonett, 1500s–1600s sonnette, 1500s– sonnet, 1600s sonnett.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Perhaps also partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French sonnet; Italian sonetto.

Etymology: In sense 1 < Anglo-Norman and Middle French sonet, Middle French sonnet song, sung melody (late 12th cent. in Old French as sonet ) < son sound (see sound n.³) + -et -et suffix¹. In sense 2 < Middle French sonnet poem of fourteen lines (1536; French sonnet ), or its etymon Italian sonetto (13th cent.; also †soneto (first half of the 14th cent.), †sonnetto (a1609 or earlier)) < Old Occitan sonet song, sung melody (second half of the 12th cent.; < son sound (see sound n.³) + -et -et suffix¹), with specific sense development within Italian. Compare sonetto n.With use in sense 1 compare also Old French, Middle French (rare) sonete song, sung melody (c1280 and 1541 in two apparently isolated attestations). With use in sense 2 compare Dutch sonnet (1621; 1561 as sonet ), German Sonett (1586). Sense 3 appears to show a development within English from both senses 1 and 2.

1. A song, tune, or ballad; (also) music.In later use sometimes with admixture of senses 2 or 3, referring to a poem set to music, or to a song having a poetic quality.

2. A poem of fourteen lines using any of a number of formal rhyme schemes, in English typically written in iambic pentameter, and usually having a single theme.The invention of the sonnet is usually credited to the Sicilian court poet Giacomo da Lentini (fl. 1233–40); the form was made famous in the 14th cent. by Petrarch (see Petrarchan adj. and cf. quot. ?1555). In English, the sonnet form was much used and developed during the Elizabethan period. Sonnets were often composed as part of a sequence: cf. sonnet sequence n. at Compounds 2.In many earlier instances it is not clear whether this sense or sense 3 is intended, as the more general use of the word appears to have been very common in the late 16th and early to mid 17th centuries.
