释义

swineherdn.

Brit. /ˈswʌɪnhəːd/, U.S. /ˈswaɪnˌhərd/
Forms:

α. see swine n. and herd n.2; also Middle English swyherd (in surnames).

β. Middle English swynerde (in surnames), Middle English–1500s swynard, Middle English–1500s swynnard, Middle English–1500s swynnarde, Middle English–1600s swynerd, 1500s swynard, 1500s swynarde, 1600s swinard.

γ. Middle English swynyard (in surnames), 1600s swineyard, 1600s swiniard, 1600s (1800s English regional (midlands)) swinyard, 1800s swinyerd (English regional (midlands)), 1800s swinyert (English regional (midlands)).

δ. Middle English swynshyrd, 1700s– swinesherd.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Middle Dutch swīnherde , zwijnherde , Old Saxon swīnhirdi (Middle Low German swīnehērde , swīnhērde ), late Old High German swīnhirti (Middle High German swīnhirte , German Schweinehirt ), Old Icelandic svínahirðir , Old Swedish swīna hirdhe (Swedish svinaherde ), Old Danish swīnhørde (Danish svinehyrde , now archaic) < the Germanic base of swine n. (in Old Icelandic and Old Swedish appearing in the genitive plural) + the Germanic base of herd n.2Form history. The β. forms show phonological reduction of the second element; compare the similar reduction in forms of gozzard n. and shepherd n. The later α. forms perhaps partly reflect re-formation of the compound. The modern standard pronunciation does not show the reduced form of the second element, unlike shepherd n., and probably originates from a spelling pronunciation. The γ. forms probably show alteration of the β. forms after words in -iard (e.g. galliard n.1, miniard n., Spaniard n.), by reanalysis of the final element as a form of -ard suffix; compare similar forms of swanherd n. In δ. forms < the genitive of swine n. + herd n.2 Specific senses. For the semantic motivation of sense 2 perhaps compare the following:1822 R. Nares Gloss. at Swinward I find also swineyard..as a term for a boar, he being the head or master of the herd.Early use as surname. In early use frequently attested as a surname; compare e.g. Peter le Swynhirde (see quot. 1310 at sense 1), Walterus le Swynhurde (1327), Robert le Swynerde (1332), etc.
