stallionn.

Brit.

/ˈstaljən/, U.S.

/ˈstæljən/

Forms: α. Middle English stalun, Middle English staloun, Middle English–1500s stalon, (Middle English stalan, stolon, 1500s stalume), 1500s stallon(e; β. 1500s stal(l)ant, stalland(e, staulande, stalaunt; γ. (Middle English stalyone), 1500s–1600s stalion, (1600s stallian, stallyon), 1500s– stallion.

Etymology: < Old French estalon (modern French étalon ), whence Anglo-Latin stalōnus ; corresponding to Italian stallone < popular Latin *stallōnem , < Germanic *stallo- stable, stall n.¹ The β forms appear to be due to confusion of the ending with the participial suffix -ant suffix¹ (compare gallande , gallante gallon n.); the influence which produced the γ forms is obscure.

a. A male horse not castrated, an entire horse, esp. one kept for the purpose of serving mares. Also figurative.
