throstle-cockn.

Brit.

/ˈθrɒslkɒk/, U.S.

/ˈθrɔsəlˌkɑk/,

/ˈθrɑsəlˌkɑk/

Forms: see throstle n. and cock n.¹; also 1600s thissell-cok (perhaps transmission error).

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: throstle n., cock n.¹

Etymology: < throstle n. + cock n.¹The form thissell-cok in quot. c1600 probably shows either a variant of or an error for this word, perhaps showing confusion of the first element (compare older Scots γ. forms at throstle n.) with thistle n., rather than an isolated early use of the rare bird name thistle-cock n. at thistle n. Compounds 2b. Also attested from an early date in Middle English surnames: compare Willelmus Throstelkoc (1327).

Chiefly British regional or literary. Now archaic and rare.

The male of the song thrush, Turdus philomelos, or of the mistle thrush, T. viscivorus.
