# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Hag

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Hag | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hag, m., ‘hedge, fence, enclosure,’ from MidHG. hac, hages, m., n., ‘thorn bushes, copse, fence, enclosed wood, park,’ OHG. hag, m., once as ‘urbs’ (comp. HG. Hagen, and names of places ending in -hag); Du. haag, f., ‘enclosure, hedge,’ AS. haga, m., E. haw, ‘enclosure, small garden’; OIc. hage, m., ‘pasture.’ Only in Goth. is a cognate word wanting; comp. Hain, Here, Hagen, and Hecke. The derivation is uncertain; it is at all events not connected with hauen, root haw; the meaning of ModHG. behagen is unsuitable.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Hagen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Hagen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hagen, m., ‘grave,’ from MidHG. hagen, OHG. hagan, m., ‘thorn-bush, fence of thorns’; even in MidHG. a contracted variant hain, Hain, occurs, See the latter and Hag.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Hai

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Hai | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hai, m., simply ModHG., from the equiv. Du. haai, f., ‘shark,’ Swed. haj, Ic. há-r.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Hain

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Hain | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hain, m., ‘grove,’ made current by Klopstock as a poetical term. The form of the word, as is shown under Hagen (1), may be traced back to MidHG., in which, however, Hain is but a rare variant of Hagen; it signified orig. ‘thorn-bush, thorn, fence, abatis, enclosed place.’ Thus the word does not imply the idea of sacredness which Klopstock blended with it.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wange

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wange. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wange, feminine, ‘cheek,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wange, Old High German wanga, neuter; Gothic *waggô, neuter, ‘cheek,’ may be inferred from waggareis, ‘pillow.’ Compare Old Saxon wanga, Dutch wang, Anglo-Saxon wǫnge (English wangtooth, ‘jaw- tooth’); the borrowed Italian word guancia, ‘cheek,’ presupposes a term *wankja. The early history of the word is uncertain. Anglo-Saxon wǫng, Old Icelandic vangr, Gothic waggs, ‘field, plain,’ are usually regarded as the nearest cognates, Wange being explained as ‘surface of the face.’ Most of the names for parts of the body have, however, no such origin.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wanst

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wanst. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wanst, masculine, ‘paunch, belly,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wanst (węnst), Old High German wanast (węnist), masculine. A specifically High German word, which, however, like most of the names for parts of the body (compare Fuß, Herz, and Niere), is genuine Aryan. It is probably connected with Latin venter, ‘belly,’ but more nearly with Sanscrit vastí, ‘bladder,’ and vanišṭhú, ‘entrails.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wart

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wart. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wart, masculine, ‘warder,’ from Middle High German and Old High German wart, ‘warder, keeper,’ which appears only as the second component of compounds. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wank

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wank. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wank, masculine, in the phrase ohne Wank, ‘without hesitation,’ Middle High German âne wanc, Old High German âno wanc; Middle High German wanc, masculine, ‘want of stability, fickleness.’ Allied to wanken, verb, ‘to totter, vacillate, hesitate,’ from Middle High German wanken, Old High German wanchôn, ‘to totter, waver’; compare Old Icelandic vakka (for *wankân), ‘to totter.’ Connected with Old High German wanchal, Middle High German wankel, ‘wavering, fickle’ (hence Wankelmut, masculine, ‘vacillation,’ Middle High German wankelmuot); allied to winken.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wanne

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wanne. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wanne, feminine, ‘winnowing fan,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wanne, Old High German wanna, feminine. As in the case of Wall, it is quite possible that the word was borrowed from Latin (vannus, ‘winnowing fan’). There exists, however, a genuine Teutonic stem from which Wanne can be derived. Gothic winþjan, and the equivalent English winnow (from Anglo-Saxon windwian) point to a Teutonic root winþ, ‘to winnow’ (Latin ventilare), and hence Old High German wanna might stand for *wanþna. In that case the primitive kinship with Latin vannus (from which English fan is borrowed) would be conceivable.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wanze

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wanze. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wanze, feminine, ‘bug,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wanze, feminine. The word first appeared in the 13th century; in Middle High German and Old High German the term wantlûs, ‘house-bug,’ is used in the same sense; probably Wanze is an abbreviation of the latter (compare Spatz with Sperling). For the meaning compare Czech stěnice, ‘bug,’ from stěna, ‘wall.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wappen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wappen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wappen, neuter, ‘(coat of) arms, escutcheon,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wâpen, with the variant wâfen, neuter. The former is the Low German form, which established itself through the chivalry of the Lower Rhine; compare Tölpel.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wand

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wand. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wand, feminine, ‘wall, partition’, from Middle High German want (d), Old High German want, feminine, ‘wall, side’; compare Old Saxon and Dutch wand. This word is wanting in the other dialects (compare Gothic waddjus, English wall). To connect it with the phonetically related winden gives no sense; Wand, literally ‘turning’?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wandel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Wandel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wandel, masculine, ‘walking, change, behaviour,’ from Middle High German wandel, Old High German wantal, masculine, ‘retrogression, vicissitude, stain, fault; trade and commerce, communication, intercourse.’ Allied to Old High German wantalôn, Middle High German wandelen, ‘to change, transform, associate’ (wandeln, ‘to walk,’ so too Middle High German wandeln; see the next word). The cognates are based on the root of winden.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ware

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Ware. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ware, feminine, ‘goods, merchandise,’ from the equivalent late Middle High German war, feminine; a Low German word, corresponding to the equivalent Dutch waar, Anglo-Saxon waru, English ware, Old Icelandic vara, feminine Gothic *warô (but not *wazô) must be assumed; if the latter meant literally ‘valuable article,’ wert Teutonic wer-þo-) might be regarded as cognate.
# The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin/Section Nineteen
## Section Nineteen

The Governor, seeming to like my Company, had me frequently to his House; & his Setting me up was always mention’d as a fix’d thing. I was to take with me Letters recommendatory to a Number of his Friends, besides the Letter of Credit to furnish me with the necessary Money for purchasing the Press & Types, Paper, &c. For these Letters I was appointed to call at different times, when they were to be ready, but a future time was still named. Thus we went on till the Ship whose Departure too had been several times postponed was on the Point of sailing. Then when I call’d to take my Leave & Receive the Letters, his Secretary, Dr Bard, came out to me and said the Governor was extremely busy, in writing, but would be down at Newcastle before the Ship, & there the Letters would be delivered to me.
Ralph, tho’ married & having one Child, had determined to accompany me in this Voyage. It was thought he intended to establish a Correspondence, & obtain Goods to sell on Commission. But I found afterwards, that thro’ some Discontent with his Wife’s Relations, he purposed to leave her on their Hands, & never return again. Having taken leave of my Friends, & interchang’d some Promises with Miss Read, I left Philadelphia in the Ship, which anchor’d at Newcastle. The Governor was there. But when I went to his Lodging, the Secretary came to me from him with the civillest Message in the World, that he could not then see me being engag’d in Business of the utmost Importance; but should send the Letters to me on board, wish’d me heartily a good Voyage and a speedy Return, &c. I return’d on board, a little puzzled, but still not doubting.
Mr Andrew Hamilton, a famous Lawyer of Philadelphia, had taken Passage in the same Ship for himself and Son: and with Mr Denham a Quaker Merchant, & Messrs Onion & Russel Masters of an Iron Work in Maryland, had engag’d the Great Cabin; so that Ralph and I were forc’d to take up with a Berth in the Steerage: And none on board knowing us, were considered as ordinary Persons. But Mr Hamilton & his Son (it was James, since Governor) return’d from Newcastle to Philadelphia, the Father being recall’d by a great Fee to plead for a seized Ship. And just before we sail’d Col. French coming on board, & showing me great Respect, I was more taken Notice of, and with my Friend Ralph invited by the other Gentlemen to come into the Cabin, there being now Room. Accordingly we remov’d thither.

## Section Six

By my rambling Digressions I perceive myself to be grown old. I us’d to write more methodically. But one does not dress for private Company as for a public Ball. ’Tis perhaps only Negligence. To return. I continu’d thus employ’d in my Father’s Business for two Years, that is till I was 12 Years old; and my Brother John, who was bred to that Business, having left my Father, married and set up for himself at Rhode Island. There was all Appearance that I was destin’d to supply his Place and be a Tallow Chandler. But my Dislike to the Trade continuing, my Father was under Apprehensions that if he did not find one for me more agreeable, I should break away and get to Sea, as his Son Josiah had done to his great Vexation. He therefore sometimes took me to walk with him, and see Joiners, Bricklayers, Turners, Braziers, &c. at their Work, that he might observe my Inclination, & endeavor to fix it on some Trade or other on Land. It has ever since been a Pleasure to me to see good Workmen handle their Tools; and it has been useful to me, having learned so much by it, as to be able to do little Jobs myself in my House, when a Workman could not readily be got; & to construct little Machines for my Experiments while the Intention of making the Experiment was fresh & warm in my Mind. My Father at last fix’d upon the Cutler’s Trade, and my Uncle Benjamin’s Son Samuel, who was bred to that Business in London, being about that time establish’d in Boston, I was sent to be with him some time on liking. But his Expectations of a Fee with me displeasing my Father, I was taken home again.
# The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin/Section One
## Section One

Dear Son: I have ever had pleasure in obtaining any little anecdotes of my ancestors. You may remember the inquiries I made among the remains of my relations when you were with me in England, and the journey I undertook for that purpose. Imagining it may be equally agreeable to you to know the circumstances of my life, many of which you are yet unacquainted with, and expecting the enjoyment of a week's uninterrupted leisure in my present country retirement, I sit down to write them for you. To which I have besides some other inducements. Having emerged from the poverty and obscurity in which I was born and bred, to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world, and having gone so far through life with a considerable share of felicity, the conducing means I made use of, which with the blessing of God so well succeeded, my posterity may like to know, as they may find some of them suitable to their own situations, and therefore fit to be imitated.
That Felicity, when I reflected on it, has induc’d me sometimes to say, that were it offer’d to my Choice, I should have no Objection to a Repetition of the same Life from its Beginning, only asking the Advantages Authors have in a second Edition to correct some Faults of the first. So would I if I might, besides correcting the Faults, change some sinister Accidents & Events of it for others more favourable, but tho’ this were deny’d, I should still accept the Offer. However, since such a Repetition is not to be expected, the next Thing most like living one’s Life over again, seems to be a Recollection of that Life; and to make that Recollection as durable as possible, the putting it down in Writing.
Hereby, too, I shall indulge the Inclination so natural in old Men, to be talking of themselves and their own past Actions, and I shall indulge it, without being troublesome to others who thro’ respect to Age might think themselves oblig’d to give me a Hearing, since this may be read or not as any one pleases. And lastly, (I may as well confess it, since my Denial of it will be believ’d by nobody) perhaps I shall a good deal gratify my own Vanity. Indeed I scarce ever heard or saw the introductory Words, Without Vanity I may say, &c but some vain thing immediately follow’d. Most People dislike Vanity in others whatever Share they have of it themselves, but I give it fair Quarter wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of Good to the Possessor & to others that are within his Sphere of Action: And therefore in many Cases it would not be quite absurd if a Man were to thank God for his Vanity among the other Comforts of Life.

He set out for New York before me; and as the Time for dispatching the Packet Boats, was in his Disposition, and there were two then remaining there, one of which he said was to sail very soon, I requested to know the precise time, that I might not miss her by any Delay of mine. His Answer was, I have given out that she is to sail on Saturday next, but I may let you know, entre nous, that if you are there by Monday morning you will be in time, but do not delay longer. By some Accidental Hindrance at a Ferry, it was Monday Noon before I arrived, and I was much afraid she might have sailed as the Wind was fair, but I was soon made easy by the Information that she was still in the Harbor, and would not move till the next Day.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stift

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stift. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stift (1.), masculine, ‘peg, tack, style, pencil,’ from Middle High German stift (stëft), masculine, ‘sting, thorn, peg,’ Old High German stëft, masculine, ‘peg.’ A specifically High German word, which is probably derived from the Aryan root stī̆p, ‘to project,’ appearing in steif. Latin stîpes, ‘stake, trunk (of a tree),’ has also been connected with the same root.
Stift (2.), neuter, ‘charitable foundation, monastery,’ from early Middle High German stift, masculine and neuter, ‘foundation, establishing, building, ecclesiastical foundation,’ also ‘founding, regulation, arrangement,’ to which Middle High German stiften, ‘to found, build, arrange, regulate, devise, contrive, cause,’ is allied. While the substantive is unknown to Old High German, the Old High German verb stiften occurs with the same meaning as the Middle High German verb (compare Dutch sticht, stichten). The ht of Anglo-Saxon stihtan, ‘to regulate, incite,’ is abnormal; like Old Icelandic stétt, ‘stone floor, foundation, it seems to point to a Teutonic root stihw, ‘to build, found.’ The meaning of these cognates precludes any connection with Stift (1).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stimme

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stimme. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stimme, feminine, ‘voice, sound,’ from the equivalent Middle High German stimme, Old High German stimma, feminine, of which the older variant, stimna, corresponds to Old Saxon stëmna (stëmma), Anglo-Saxon stëmn, stefn (English dialectic steven, ‘noise, cry’), Gothic stibna, ‘voice.’ It is uncertain whether *stebnô- or stibnô- is the older form. The connection with Greek στόμα, ‘mouth,’ is dubious.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stiege

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stiege. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stiege (1.), feminine, ‘stair, staircase,’ from the equivalent Middle High German stiege, Old High German stiega, feminine; the same as Steg; the broken Middle High German ie is similar to Middle High German wiege, ‘cradle,’ and schiec, ‘awry’ (see schief).
Stiege (2.), feminine (dialectic Steig), in the sense of ‘score,’ has been derived from the allied Middle High German stîge, feminine, ‘stall for small cattle’ (Swe. stia, ‘piasty’), it being assumed that a stall contained twenty sheep. Yet it is remarkable that the Crimean Gothic stega was used in the 16th century in the sense of ‘score’ (compare Shock; English score, literally ‘notch’; Dutch snees, ‘score,’ lît, ‘row, series’).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stiel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stiel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stiel, masculine, ‘handle, stalk, pedicle,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German stil, masculine. Phonetically the assumption that the word was borrowed from Latin stĭlus, ‘style’ (for writing), is possible. It is more probable, however, that the words are primitively allied, on account of Anglo-Saxon stela, steola, ‘handle’ (English diminutive stalk), and of Greek στέλεχος, ‘handle.’ The cognates of Stall, Stolle, and still may also be primitively allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stirn

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stirn. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stirn, feminine, ‘forehead, brow,’ from the equivalent Middle High German stirne, Old High German stirna (for *sternja), feminine; a specifically High German word (yet also in Anglo-Saxon steornêde, ‘frontosus’?), for which Dutch voorhoofd, Anglo-Saxon foranheáfod, English forehead (Old Icelandic enne, Gothic *anþi, Old High German ęndi, equivalent to Latin antiae), occur. In Bavarian, Hirn is generally used instead of Stirn. The form *sternjô- has been connected with Greek στέρνον, ‘breast,’ while ‘broad’ is assumed to be the intermediate idea, which is deduced from the root ster, in Latin sternere and Greek στρώννυμι, ‘to spread out’; compare Old Slovenian strana, ‘district.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stief-

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stief-. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stief- in compounds is preserved throughout the Teutonic group only as the first component; compare Middle High German stiefbruoder, -kind, -muoter, -sun, -swester, -tohter, -vater; Old High German stiuf-bruoder, -chint, &c. (Dutch stief-broeder, -kind, &c.). Corresponding to Anglo-Saxon steóp-sunu, -fœder, English step-father, &c.; Old Icelandic stjúpfaðer. That the word was used by itself at an earlier period is indicated by the derivatives Old High German stiufen, irstiufen, bistiufen, ‘to rob one of his relatives (parents or children),’ Anglo-Saxon âstŷpan, ‘to rob.’ All further clue to its early history is unfortunately wanting.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Stiefel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Stiefel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Stiefel, masculine, ‘boot,’ from the equivalent Middle High German stivel, stivâl (Old High German stivâl?), masculine; the Middle High German variant stivâl points clearly to a loan-word from the equivalent Italian stivále, masculine (for v equivalent to Middle High German v, f, compare Vers, Käfig), literally ‘a light summer covering made of leather for the feet’ (from Middle Latin œstivale, ‘pertaining to summer’). The word was borrowed in High German (it does not occur in the other Teutonic dialects), probably in the 12th century.
