wild Irishn.

Brit.

/ˌwʌɪld ˈʌɪrᵻʃ/, U.S.

/ˈˌwaɪld ˈaɪrɪʃ/

Forms: see wild adj. and n. and Irish adj. and n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: wild adj., Irish n.

Etymology: < wild adj. + Irish n. Compare post-classical Latin silvestres Hibernici , plural (from mid 13th cent. in British sources; compare the passage translated in quot. a1398 and also quot. 1586). Compare Welsh Gwyddel Irishman (sometimes derogatory) (in Old Welsh as Guoidel ; ultimately < the same base as gŵydd wild, untamed: see Goidel n.). Compare slightly later wild Irishman n. With sense 2 compare earlier wild Irishman n.This expression and wild Irishman n. both appear to have been used primarily in English. Post-classical Latin silvestres Hibernici is occasionally attested earlier, but is much rarer and chiefly used later; it does not appear in Gerald of Wales's 12th-cent. description of Ireland, although he comments that est autem gens haec gens siluestris ‘this people, however, is a wild people’ (a1188, in Topographia Hibernica iii. 10). The English expression is also found in Latin contexts; compare e.g. quot. 1586 at sense 1 and quot. 1401 at wild Irishman n. 1. There is apparently no attested parallel in Anglo-Norman. Compare also (with reference to the Gaelic-speaking inhabitants of Scotland) wild Scots in quot. a1398 at sense 1, and similarly Middle Dutch wilde Schotten , post-classical Latin silvestres Scoti (13th cent. in the passage translated in quot. a1398), Middle French sauvages Escots (14th cent. in the passage translated in quot. 1523), all plural. Compare quot. c1475 at Scotry n. Compare further e.g.:a1425 (c1333–52) L. Minot Poems (1914) 3 Þare was crakked many a crowne of wild Scottes and alls of tame.a1475 J.
