Etymology: In α. forms < summer n.¹ + bird n. In β. forms < the genitive of summer n.¹ + bird n.In sense 1 drawing on long-standing associations between cuckoo and cuckold (which are ultimately derived from the same French noun: see cuckold n.¹); compare Middle French, French cocu cuckold (14th cent.), variant or alteration of Old French cucu cuckoo.

†1. Also in form summer's bird. A cuckold. Obsolete.With allusion to the cuckoo as the ‘summer bird’, and hence drawing on long-standing associations between cuckoo and cuckold (see note in etymology section).
