yokeletn.

Brit.

/ˈjəʊklᵻt/, U.S.

/ˈjoʊklət/

Forms: early Old English geocled, early Old English iocled, early Old English ioclet, early Old English iocleta, Old English iuclæte, 1600s–1700s yoklet, 1800s– yokelet.

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: yoke n., an element of uncertain origin.

Etymology: < yoke n. + a second element of uncertain origin (perhaps a form of Old English lād lode n.; in later use apparently associated with -let suffix). Compare yoke n. 9.In Old English attested only in sources relating to Kent. If the second element -led shows a form of lode n., it may represent a by-form with i-mutation; however, already in early Old English the second element may have been subject to phonological reduction due to low stress, making it even more difficult to assess the phonetic value of e in the attested forms. The early appearance of forms with stem-final -t- (early Old English ioclet ) is also difficult to explain phonologically, although they could result from word-final devoicing. It has been suggested that they in fact show a different word, a synonymous compound with a form of Old English gelǣte (see leet n.¹) as the second element; however, the form iuclæte (which might support this) could alternatively represent a West Saxon alteration of a Kentish form in e . In early use the word is only attested in a Latin context. The form iocleta is perhaps to be interpreted as an otherwise unattested post-classical Latin word ( < Old English), but compare the vocalic ending of iuclæte. As a land measure, in quot. eOE¹ one yokelet is apparently equated with a quarter of a suling (see suling n.) and half a (Mercian) hide (see hide n.²), the term used for ‘hide’ being post-classical Latin mansiuncula (805 as a measure of land in quot. eOE¹). Compare yoke n. 9, although how far Old English geocled was synonymous with geoc in early use in Kent is disputed. The word is also attested in a few early Kentish place names. Quot. eOE¹ perhaps refers to Yockletts Farm, Waltham (1226 as Yoklete). Compare also Yoclete, Hernhill (1254; now Yorkletts Farm), and Yoklete, Saltwood (1226; now lost), which may imply currency of the word in Middle English.

Now historical.

In Kent: a unit of area of arable land. Hence: a small landholding of the size of one yokelet. Cf. yoke n. 9.Compare discussion in etymology section.
