tinen.⁴

Forms: Also tyne.

Etymology: Etymology uncertain.As tintare , tine-tare , appears to occur nearly a century earlier than the simple form tine , it was possibly the original name, its first element being one of the other tine words. If originally applied to Vicia hirsuta, the sense ‘small or diminutive tare’ ( < tine adj.) would be appropriate enough. But perhaps derivation < tine v.², or tine n.², in reference to the injury or trouble which it causes, is more likely. Compare the name strangle-tare.

Obsolete exc. dialect.

a. A wild vetch or tare; a name for certain leguminous plants growing as weeds in corn, etc., and climbing by their tendrils, esp. the strangle-tare, Vicia hirsuta; also locally V. Cracca, and Lathyrus tuberosus.

† tineadj.n.⁶

Forms: Also Middle English tyn, Middle English–1600s tyne.

Etymology: Appears as adj.n. about or soon after 1400; origin unknown: see etymological note, and tiny adj.In the absence of evidence, the etymology of tine , its accidence, and its relation to tiny adj. and n., have received a good deal of discussion: see Wedgwood Dict. Eng. Etym. (1872) 684, Skeat Notes on Eng. Etymol. 300, E. Weekley in Trans. Philol. Soc. 1909. Prof. Skeat inclines to take tine as a later shortening of *tiné , afterwards tiny , and *tiné as a noun, possibly < Old French tinée ‘tubful’. But though it is possible that tine was originally a noun, in sense ‘bit’, the evidence is that it was always a monosyllable. Prof. Weekley suggests the possibility of tine , tiné , tiny being aphetic for Old French un tantin or tantinet ‘a little time or quantity’, related to Latin tantillus ‘so small, so little’. This would suit the sense, but evidence connecting the forms has not been found (compare tiny adj.).

Obsolete.

A. adj.

Very small, diminutive: = tiny adj.Apparently always preceded by little: cf. Sc. little wee (bairn).

Etymology: Etymology uncertain.As tintare , tine-tare , appears to occur nearly a century earlier than the simple form tine , it was possibly the original name, its first element being one of the other tine words. If originally applied to Vicia hirsuta, the sense ‘small or diminutive tare’ ( < tine adj.) would be appropriate enough. But perhaps derivation < tine v.², or tine n.², in reference to the injury or trouble which it causes, is more likely. Compare the name strangle-tare. Obsolete exc. dialect. a. A wild vetch or tare; a name for certain leguminous plants growing as weeds in corn, etc., and climbing by their tendrils, esp. the strangle-tare, Vicia hirsuta; also locally V.

Etymology: Appears as adj.n. about or soon after 1400; origin unknown: see etymological note, and tiny adj.In the absence of evidence, the etymology of tine , its accidence, and its relation to tiny adj. and n., have received a good deal of discussion: see Wedgwood Dict. Eng. Etym. (1872) 684, Skeat Notes on Eng. Etymol. 300, E. Weekley in Trans. Philol. Soc. 1909. Prof. Skeat inclines to take tine as a later shortening of tiné , afterwards tiny* , and tiné as a noun, possibly < Old French tinée* ‘tubful’. But though it is possible that tine was originally a noun, in sense ‘bit’, the evidence is that it was always a monosyllable. Prof. Weekley suggests the possibility of tine , tiné , tiny being aphetic for Old French un tantin or tantinet ‘a little time or quantity’, related to Latin tantillus ‘so small, so little’. This would suit the sense, but evidence connecting the forms has not been found (compare tiny adj.). Obsolete. A. adj. Very small, diminutive: = tiny adj.Apparently always preceded by little: cf. Sc. little wee (bairn).
