† tallow catchn.

Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English *tallow keech.

Etymology: Probably either a variant of, or perhaps a misprint for, *tallow keech (to which several modern editions emend; < tallow n. + keech n.).Alternatively the Arden Shakespeare ed. of 1 Henry IV (A. R. Humphreys, 1960) suggests an interpretation as ‘a dripping pan under roasting meat’, but catch n.² does not appear to be attested in a ‘receptacle’ sense.

Obsolete.

A phrase applied in Shakespeare (so in quartos and folios) to Falstaff, as a very fat man. By Hanmer taken as = tallow ketch ‘tub of tallow’: see ketch ‘tub or barrel’, a Gloucestershire and West-of-England word, in Eng. Dial. Dict. By Johnson explained as tallow keech ‘lump or mass of tallow’ (see keech n.), an explanation adopted by Steevens. See notes in critical editions.
