takhaarn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈtakhɑː/, U.S.

/ˈtækˌhɑr/,

/ˈtɑkˌhɑr/, South African English

/ˈtʌkhɑː/

Inflections: Plural takhaare, takhaars.

Forms: 1800s taakhaarer, 1800s– takhaar, 1900s– taakhaar, 1900s– taakhaare (plural), 1900s– takhaaren (plural), 1900s– takhar, 1900s– takhara, 1900s– takhare (plural), 1900s– takkard, 1900s– tokhara.

Origin: A borrowing from Afrikaans. Etymon: Afrikaans takhaar.

Etymology: < Afrikaans takhaar (apparently late 19th cent.) < Dutch tak branch (see tack n.¹) + haar hair (see hair n.). With the semantic development compare unkempt adj. O.E.D. Suppl. (1986) gives the pronunciation as (tā·khāɹ) /ˈtɑːkhɑː(r)/. In plural form takhaare after the Afrikaans plural form takhare . The form taak haarers (plural) in quot. 1899 results from reanalysis of the Afrikaans plural form as singular. The medial -er- in taakhaarer and the final -a in takhara, tokhara are attempts to represent the final schwa of the Afrikaans plural form. With the form takkard perhaps compare -ard suffix.

South African (frequently derogatory). Now historical.

A. n.

An unsophisticated rural Afrikaner, typically characterized as having long hair and an unkempt appearance; a backvelder. Also in extended use.
