achaten.¹

Brit.

/ˈakət/, U.S.

/ˈækət/

Forms:

α. Middle English acat, Middle English accate, Middle English achaat, Middle English– achate, 1500s achatt, 1500s–1600s achat.

β. Middle English achites, Middle English–1700s 1900s– achates.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French acate, achate; Latin achātēs.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman acate, achate agate (early 12th cent.; compare agate agate n.) and (especially in β. forms) its etymon classical Latin achātēs agate < Hellenistic Greek ἀχάτης agate, of unknown origin; perhaps a loanword. Compare Middle Dutch achates (compare Dutch agaat agate n.), Middle High German achates, achāt (German Achat). The classical Latin name of the stone is derived by Pliny and (hence) some medieval authors < Achātēs (Greek Ἀχάτης ), the name of a river in Sicily, where the stone is found. However, it is more likely that the name of the river derives from the name of the stone. In sense 2 probably confused with Anglo-Norman echite , echites , ecites (early 12th cent., variant (probably originally based on a misreading) of ethithe , etite , etites aetites n.), itself apparently influenced by classical Latin echitis , the name of an unidentified gemstone (see echites n.), from which it is often difficult to distinguish. There is a tradition from antiquity that the eagle uses the aetites to help it breed and also that agate wards off poison. In the Ancrene Riwle (compare quot. ?c1225 at sense 1) or earlier, the agate is also used specifically by the eagle to protect its young from poisonous snakes. Bartholomaeus Anglicus describes the eagle using both kinds of stone (in a single paragraph), leading to confusion in some manuscripts of Trevisa's translation (compare quot. a1398 at sense 2). Earlier currency (in sense 1) is perhaps implied by the following example where the scribe may have omitted to transcribe the word from his source:OE Lapidary 14 An stan is in Sicilia, [acates] haten, se wæs on Pires hyrnesse persea cyninges; þæs ansine is swilce an man pipige mid nigon pipan & an man hearpige.However, P. Kitson ( Anglo-Saxon England 7 (1978) 50–3) points out that there is no gap in the manuscript and that the previous two words are written as one: insicilia ; he suggests that either this scribe or an earlier one may have taken this to be the name of the stone (perhaps influenced by post-classical Latin insigillare to seal). In common use, this word began to be superseded by agate n. (a more recent borrowing < French) in the late 16th cent.
