† theve-thornthe-thornn.

Forms: Old English thebanthorn, þefan-, þeofe-, þife-, þyfe-, Old English–Middle English þefeþorn, Middle English theve-, Middle English theoue, thef-, Middle English thethorn(e; (Middle English thewe-, threw-thorn).

Etymology: Cognate with Old High German depandorn ( Ahd. Glossen I. 237, 34). Etymology of first element uncertain. Grimm, Kl. Schr. I. 246, renders depandorn ‘brenndorn’, comparing ‘deba, diba incendium’, in the Malb. Gloss. This might refer to thorns used for burning or kindling a fire. See also Van Helten in P. & B. Beitr. XXV. 348.

Obsolete.

Name of some thorny shrub.

a. In Old English and Middle English glossaries commonly rendering Latin rhamnus, which was sometimes in late and medieval Latin applied to the bramble or blackberry-bush, and was sometimes glossed by whitethorn or hawthorn.The sense ‘bramble’ or ‘blackberry-bush’ is supported by Latin mōrus in Metr. Voc. (which has this sense sometimes in Pliny, and still in Romanic languages); that of ‘hawthorn’ by the red fruit of Sinon. Barthol. (Thevethorn could not be buckthorn, the late botanical identification of Rhamnus with buckthorn being merely a caprice of Linnæus, without any ancient warrant.)
