stock-doven.

Forms: see stock n.¹ and dove n. Also Middle English–1500s -dowe, Middle English -dowef.

Etymology: Compare Flemish †stockduive (Kilian), German stocktaube (= holztaube, hohltaube). Probably so named as living in hollow trees. The conjecture that the name was given because this kind of pigeon was supposed to be the ‘stock’ or ancestral form of the domestic pigeon is unlikely.Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈstock-dove.

The wild pigeon, Columba œnas.
