bowlinen.¹

/ˈbəʊlʌɪn/

Forms: Middle English bouline, bawelyne, Middle English bowelyne, Middle English–1500s bowlyne, 1500s boulene, bolyn, bollene, bollinge, 1500s–1800s bowling, 1600s bolin(e, bow-lin, boulin, bow line1600s–1700s boling, 1700s–1800s bow-line, 1500s– bowline.

Etymology: In sense 1, in most modern Germanic languages: Swedish boglina , Danish bovline , Dutch boeglijn , German bulien ; whence also French bouline , Italian bolina , Spanish bolina , Portuguese bolina . In all the Germanic languages it is connected in form with the ship's bow n.³, which seems to be the derivation; though, as it is found in English several centuries before bow , it does not appear whence we received it, nor why the pronunciation does not agree with that of bow n.³The alleged Old Norse bóglína occurs only in the Þulur, a rhymed glossary composed probably in Orkney, and full of foreign terms.

Nautical.

I. Senses relating to ropes and knots.

1. A rope passing from about the middle of the perpendicular edge on the weather side of the square sails (to which it is fastened by three or four subdivisions, called ‘bridles’) to the larboard or starboard bow, for the purpose of keeping the edge of the sail steady when sailing on a wind.
