# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rock

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rock | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rock, m., ‘coat, robe, petticoat,’ from MidHG. roc (gen. rockes), OHG. rocch, m., ‘outer garment, coat’; corresponding to the equiv. Du. rok, OFris. rok, AS. rocc, OIc. rokkr; the implied Goth. *rukka- is wanting. From the Teut. cognates is derived the Rom. class, Fr. rochet, ‘surplice’ (MidLat. roccus, ‘coat’), which again passed into E. (rochet). The early history of the Teut. cognates is obscure; allied to Rocken?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rohrdommel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rohrdommel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rohrdommel, f., ‘bittern,’ from the equiv. MidHG. rôrtumel, m.; the word has been variously corrupted in OHG. and MidHG., finally resulting in the ModHG. form. In OHG. occur horo-tukel, horotumil, lit. ‘mud, slime tumbler’ (*rôrtumil is not found in OHG.). MidDu. roesdomel; AS. has a remarkable form, râradumbla, with the same meaning. The wide diffusion of these cognates, transformed in various ways by popular etymology, but closely resembling one another in sound, leaves to doubt as to their genuine Teut. origin. The usual assumption that they are all corruptions of Lat. crecopulus, cretobolus, onocrotalus won't bear investigation.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Rose

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rose | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rose, f., ‘rose,’ from the equiv. MidHG. rôse, OHG. rôsa, f.; comp. the equiv. Du. roos, AS. rŏse, E. rose; adopted in the OHG. period from Lat. rŏsa. Had the word been borrowed earlier, the Lat. quantity would have been retained in G. (in Lilie, from Lat. lîlia, the vowel was shortened, because lĭlja was the pronunciation in MidLat.). Lat. *rôsa is, however, implied also by the Rom. cognates, Ital. rosa and Fr. rose. A Lat. ŏ must have led in OHG. to the form *ruosa; comp. OHG. scuola, ‘school,’ from Lat. scŏla.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Rodomontade | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Rodomontade, f., ‘boasting, bluster, swaggering,’ from the equiv. Fr. rodomontade, Ital. rodomondata, f. Rodomonte is derived from Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, and is the name of a boastful Moorish hero; it first appears in Boiardo's Orlando Innamorata, and means lit. ‘roller of mountains, one who boasts that he can roll away mountains.’

​ Rogen, m., ‘roe, spawn,’ from the equiv. MidHG. rogen, OHG. rogan, m., for an earlier *hrogan, mm.; also MidHG. roge, OHG. rogo, m.; corresponding to the equiv. OIc. hrogn, n. plur., AS. *hrogn, E. roan, ​roe. Goth. *hrugna- is by chance not recorded. The true source of the word cannot be found; some connect it with AS. hrog, ‘nasal mucus,’ others with Gr. κρόκη, ‘pebble,’ Sans. çarkara, ‘gravel.’

​ Rohr, n., ‘reed, cane, rush,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. rôr (gen. rôres), n.; an earlier *rauza is to be assumed; comp. Goth. raus, n., OIc. reyr, m., Du. roer, ‘reed’ (wanting in OSax., AS., and E.). The Teut. form in s, closely allied to the Goth., passed into Rom.; comp. Fr. roseau, ‘creed’ and the equiv. Prov. raus. The form rausa-, with which Reuse and Röhre (Rost, (1)?) are also connected, is related to Lat. ruscum, ‘butcher's broom’; comp. Moos with Lat. muscus.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Butzen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Butzen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Butzen, m., ‘core, snuff (of candles),’ first occurs in ModHG.; cognate with the equiv. Swiss bœ̄ke, f. (bätzi, bätzgi). The structure of the word resembles ModHG. (dial.) Großen; see under Griebs. Probably, therefore, represents *bugze, *bûgaȥ (Swiss bœ̄ke, from *bauggyô)?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Burg

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Burg | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Burg, f., ‘stronghold, citadel, castle, fortified town,’ from MidHG. burc(g), OHG. burg, burug, f., ‘enclosed, fortified place, stronghold, castle, town.’ Comp. OSax. burg, Du. burg, AS. burh (plur. byrg), E. borough, bury, burrow (especially in compounds), Goth. baúrgs. In the OTeut. dialects Burg corresponded to the modern town. Ulfilas translated πόλις by baurgs. According to the Germania of Tacitus, the Teutons had no urbes, but their oppida were mentioned as early as Cæsar (De Bell. Gall.). With Gr. πύργος, ‘tower,’ the OTeut. Burg accords neither in form nor meaning. The OTeut. word appears strangely enough in Armen. as burgu, and in Arab. as burǵ, which probably owed their immediate origin to late Lat. burgus (whence the Rom. words Ital. borgo, Fr. bourg, ‘market town’; so too OIr. borg, ‘town’). In this sense the word is solely Teut., and belongs with Berg to an Aryan bhṛgh-, which also appears in OIr. bri (gen. brig), ‘mountain, hill,’ but scarcely to the verbal stem of bergen. The words for ‘town’ were not formed until the separate Aryan tribes ceased their wanderings and became permanent settlers; comp. also Garten.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Buße

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Buße | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Buße, f., ‘penance, atonement,’ from MidHG. buoęe, OHG. buoęa, f., ‘spiritual and legal atonement, compensation, relief’; OSax. bôta, ‘healing, relief’; AS. bôt, E. boot (‘use, gain, advantage’); also E. bote (‘wergeld’), firebote, fireboot (‘a free supply of fuel’), housebote (‘prison expenses,’ then ‘a free supply of wood for repairs and fuel’), Goth. bôta, ‘use.’ Under the cognate adjs. besser, best (comp. büßen in Lücken büßen, ‘to repair,’ OHG. buozzen; AS. bétan), will be found the necessary remarks on the evolution in meaning of the stem bat contained in these words. Comp. vergüten, ‘to make atonement, give compensation’ (Ersatz); Ersatz denotes a substitute of equal worth. Comp. also etwas gut machen, ‘to make good a loss,’ &c. See besser.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Busen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Busen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Busen, m., ‘bosom,’ from the equiv. MidHG. buosen, buosem, OHG. buosam, buosum, m..; comp. OSax. bôsm, Du. boezem, AS. bôsm, E. bosom; in East-Teut. (Goth., Scand.) the corresponding word (Goth. *bôsma-) is wanting. It may perhaps be allied to Bug, MidHG. buoc, ‘arm, shoulder’ (pre-Teut. bhâghu-); but since a pre-Teut. bhâghsmo, bhâksmo- does not occur in the cognate languages, nothing can be cited in favour of that explanation; at all events, Busen is not allied to biegen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Butter

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Butter | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Butter, f., ‘butter,’ from the equiv. MHG. buter, f., m., late OHG. butera, f.; the same medial dental appears in Du. boter, AS. butere, E. butter. This necessitates the assumption that the HG. word was first introduced into Germany about the 10th cent. It is derived, though changed in gender (der Butter, however, is common to the UpGer. dialects), from the ​ Rom.-MidLat. butyrum (whence Fr. beurre, Ital. burro), late Gr.-Scyth. βούτυρον. Yet the art of making butter was known in Germany ere the introduction of the term from the South of Europe. Butter was called Aufe, as is still the case in Alem.; comp. Anke and Kerne; perhaps the process in the south was different, and with the new method came the new term. The art of making cheese may have found its way earlier, even before the middle of the 9th cent., from the South of Europe to the North. See Käse.

E. bush, Du. bos, ‘cluster,’ bosch, ‘copse,’ bussel, ‘cluster.’ There are similar forms in Rom., Ital. bosco, Fr. bois, which are traced back to. a MidLat. buscus, boscus. — Allied to Büschel, ‘cluster,’ from MidHG. büschel, m.

​ Bursche, m., ‘fellow, apprentice, student,’ properly identical with ModHG. Börse, from MidHG. burse, f., ‘purse, money-bag, society, house belonging to a ​society, especially to a students' society.’ From the last meaning, prevalent in the 15th cent., the ModHG. acceptation of Bursche (s after r became sch, as in Arsch, Hirsch) was developed, just as perhaps Frauenzimmer from Frauengemach; comp. the existing phrase altes Haus among students, AS. geogoð. ‘a company of young people,’ similar to E. youth.
