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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tempel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tempel, masculine, ‘temple,’ from the equivalent Middle High German tëmpel, masculine and neuter, Old High German tëmpal, neuter; borrowed during the Old High German period (with ecclesiastical words like Kloster, Altar, &c.) from Latin templum. A Teutonic word used in pre-Christian times for the same idea was Old Saxon alah, Anglo-Saxon ealh, Gothic alhs.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tausch

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tausch. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tausch, masculine, ‘exchange, barter’; Modern High German only; in late Middle High German (15th century) we meet for the first time with rostiuchœre, ‘horse-dealer’ (compare Dutch paardentuischer), and verûschen, ‘to exchange.’ The word is properly Low German; compare Dutch tuischen, ‘to barter.’ How täuschen, ‘to deceive,’ from late Middle High German tiuschen (tûschen), ‘to deceive, make game of some one’ (late Middle High German tûsch, ‘mockery, joke, deception’), is connected with this word is not clear.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Teich

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Teich. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Teich, masculine, ‘pond, pool,’ from Middle High German tîch, masculine, ‘fish-pond, pond’ (it is uncertain whether Old High German dîh, ‘eddy, whirlpool,’ is the same word. The Low German cognates of Modern High German Deich seem to be connected; Anglo-Saxon dîč, English ditch, dike (Old Icelandic díke), border on the meaning of Teich. Teutonic dîko- (from dhîghn-?) may be primitively allied to Greek τίφος (from dhîghos?), neuter, ‘pond, bog.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Teller

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Teller. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Teller, masculine, ‘plate, salver,’ from the equivalent Middle High German teller, teler (telier), masculine; the word was borrowed in the 14th century from Italian tagliere (French tailloir), ‘chopping board,’ which belongs, like Italian tagliare (French tailler), ‘to cut to pieces,’ to Italian taglia, ‘incision’; compare French détail.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tenne

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tenne. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tenne, feminine, ‘threshing-floor,’ from the equivalent Middle High German tęnne, neuter, feminine, and masculine, Old High German tęnni, neuter. No corresponding word occurs in this sense in the allied Teutonic dialects. It has been connected with Anglo-Saxon dęnu, ‘valley,’ Anglo-Saxon and English den; but Tenne is rather a derivative of Tanne (literally ‘made of fir’).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tausendgüldenkraut

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tausendgüldenkraut. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tausendgüldenkraut, neuter, ‘centaury,’ Modern High German only, an erroneous version of the Latin centaurea (as if it were a compound of centum and aurum. It is really Greek κενταύριον).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Teig

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Teig. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Teig, masculine, ‘dough,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German teic (g), masculine; corresponding to Dutch deeg, Anglo-Saxon dâh, English dough, and the equivalent Old Icelandic deig, neuter; a derivative of a Teutonic root dī̆g, ‘to knead,’ from which the adjective teig and Modern High German Tiegel, ‘stewpan,’ are derived. A more general meaning is exhibited by Gothic deigan, ‘to form from clay,’ which is derived from Aryan dhī̆gh, and is connected with Sanscrit dih, ‘to bedaub, cement, besmear.’ To these are also allied Latin figulus, ‘potter,’ fingere, ‘to form,’ figura, ‘shape,’ Greek τεῖχος, τοῖχος (for θεῖχος, θοῖχος), ‘wall.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Teil

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Teil. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Teil, masculine and neuter, ‘part, share, portion,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German teil, masculine and neuter; corresponding to Gothic dails, daila, feminine, Old Saxon dêl, masculine, Dutch deel, neuter, Anglo-Saxon dœ̂l (dâl), and English deal (dole). Teutonic dai-li (lo) seems to point to an Aryan root dhai (see tilgen), which is proved by Old Slovenian dělŭ, ‘part.’ —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schielen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schielen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schlank | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schlank, adj., ‘slender, slim,’ from MidLG. (MidG.) slanc, ‘slim, lean’; comp. Du. slank, ‘thin, nimble’; to this OIc. slakke (for slanke), ‘mountain slope,’ is also probably allied. Goth. *slanka- would be connected with the root sling in schlingen, like krank with the root kring in AS. cringan; see schlingen.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schier | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schier, adj., ‘clear, pure, simple, sheer,’ from MidHG. (MidG.) schîr, ‘mere, pure, glittering’; comp. OSax. skîr, skîri, AS. scîr, ‘pure, glittering,’ E. shere, sheer, OIc. skírr, Goth. skeirs, ‘clear, manifest’; a derivative of the root skî, ‘to shine, glitter.’ In ModHG. this adj. has been confused in sound with the following adv., yet the ModHG. form may be also of LG. origin. See scheinen.
schier, adv., ‘almost,’ from MidHG. schiere, adv., ‘quickly, soon,’ OHG. sciaro, older skêro, adv., ‘quickly’; allied to OHG. sciari, scêri, adj., ‘sagacious, zealous in tracing out’; comp. Du. schier, ‘almost’ (OIc. skýrr, skœ́rr, ‘bright, clear’).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlappen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schildern | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schildern, vb., ‘to paint, depict, describe,’ allied to MidHG. schilt, ‘coat of arms’; comp. MidHG. schiltœre, m., ‘artist’; the shields were orig. painted in the MidHG. age of chivalry with coats of arms, and even, according to Tacitus, Germ. vi. (“scuta lectissimis coloribus distinguunt”), in the OTeut. heroic period. Comp. Du. schilderen, ‘to paint, depict, describe.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlabbern

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlachten

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schlachten | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schlachten, vb., ‘to slaughter, slay,’ MidHG. slahten, OHG. slahtôn, ‘to kill, slaughter,’ is a derivative of Schlacht (OHG. slahta), with the preservation of its more general meaning; so too Schlächter, m., ‘butcher,’ MidHG. slahtœre, OHG. slahtâri, ‘butcher’; allied to E. slaughter.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schief

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schief | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schief, adj., ‘oblique, awry. sloping,’ a MidG. and LG. word; MidHG. and MidG. schief, ‘awry, distorted’; cognate with AS. sčâb, OIc. skeifr, ‘awry,’ North Fris. skiaf, Du. scheef, ‘awry’ (whence E. skew is borrowed), Schmalkald. šeip. HG. dials. also imply a MidHG. schëp (pp), ‘awry’; Hess. and Franc. šëp, Suab. šeps. Besides these primit. Teut. cognates skibb, skaib (whence Lett. schkîbs, ‘awry,’ is borrowed), UpG. has skieg, which is represented by MidHG. ‘schiec, ‘awry,’ Bav. and Alem. šiegen, šieggen, ‘to waddle’ (respecting the ie see Stiege and Wiege). They are all connected, like Gr. σκίμπτω, ‘to bend,’ with an Aryan root skī̆q, skaiq.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schießen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schießen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schießen, vb., ‘to shoot,’ from the equiv. MidHG. schieȥen, OHG. scioȥan; the corresponding vb. occurs in the same sense in all the OTeut. dials.; comp. OSax. skeotan (Du. schieten), AS. sčeótan (E. to shoot), OIc. skjóta, Goth. (by chance not recorded) *skiutan. The root skut, ‘to shoot,’ from pre-Teut. skud, is widely diffused in Teut., and corresponds to the Sans. root kšud, ‘to shatter, excite,’ or better with Sans. skund, ‘to leap forth.’ For derivatives see Schoß, Schuß, Schutz, and Schütze.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlaff

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schlaff | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schlaff, adj., ‘relaxed, loose, indolent,’ from MidHG. and OHG. slaf (gen. slaffes), ‘relaxed, idle, impotent’; comp. LG. and Du. slap, ‘relaxed, impotent,’ whence ModHG. schlapp, retaining the LG. p, is borrowed. Goth. *slapa- is perhaps a graded form of the root slép, as lata-, ‘idle, lazy,’ is of the root lêt, ‘to omit’ (see laß). OSlov. slabŭ, ‘relaxed, weak,’ and Lat. lâbi, ‘to glide,’ lăbare, ‘to totter,’ have been rightly compared with the prim. Teut. slapa-, ‘relaxed.’ See schlafen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Fackel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fackel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fackel, f., ‘torch,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vackele, vackel, OHG. facchala, f.; comp. AS. fœcele, f., ‘torch,’ with the abnormal variant þœcele, f. It is usually regarded as a loan-word from Lat. facula, (dimin. of fax). The sounds, however, point with greater probability to a genuinely Teut. word, which was perhaps connected with Lat. facula; Du. fakkel, f., has ck, like the HG. word, in contrast to AS. c; the vowels too of the AS. stem and derivative syllable tell in favour of a genuinely native word; likewise OHG. rôrea gafaclita, ‘reed shaken to and fro by the wind.’

​ Fahrt, f., ‘journey, ride, drive, voyage, course,’ from MidHG. vart, OHG. fart; comp. OSax. fard, ‘journey, voyage,’ AS. fyrd, ferd, f., ‘journey, voyage, expedition, troops on the march,’ OIc. ferð, f., ‘journey’; Goth. *farþs or *fards is wanting, but the term us-farþô (us skipa, ‘shipwreck’) occurs once. From por-ti-s, a derivative of the root por appearing in fahren; comp. also fertig.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Falke

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Falke | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Falke, m., ‘falcon, hawk,’ from the equiv. MidHG. valke, OHG. falcho, m. (in UpG. still written Falch). In the other Teut. languages the word does not appear till late in the Middle Ayes (OIc. falke, E. falcon, Du. valk), yet Falco already existed in Lombardic proper names (comp. also AS. Wester-falcna). Among the Anglo-Saxons the falcon was called wealhheafoc, ‘Welsh hawk’; OIc. valr, ‘falcon,’ is prop. ‘the Kelic (bird)’; comp. Walnuß, welsch. Hence it is possible that OHG. falcho originated in the tribal name Volcae, ‘Kelts’; *volcon- may have become falkon-, and the Romance cognates (Ital. falcone, Fr. faucon) borrowed from it. But it is also possible that the word is connected with the cognates of fahl (UpGer. falch, ‘a fawn-coloured cow’); hence Falke, ‘a fawn-coloured (bird)’?. If, on the other hand, the word originated in the Lat.-Rom. cognates (Lat. falco is recorded in the 4th cent.), we must base it on the Lat. falx, ‘sickle’; falco, lit. ‘sickle-bearer’ (on account of its hooked claws?).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Fach

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fach | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fach, n., ‘compartment, shelf, panel, special branch,’ from MidHG. vach, OHG. fah(hh), n., ‘part, division of space, of a partition, wall, &c.,’ also ‘contrivance, an enclosed space in water for catching fish, fish-weir, hurdles for fishing’; with the latter meanings some have connected Gr. πάγη, ‘noose, snare, fishing hurdles,’ to which there is no objection phonetically. Yet we must proceed in the case of the HG. word as well as of AS. fœc, ‘space, time,’ from a general and primary sense, such as ‘division, a portion of space or time.’ Allied to HG. fügen. —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Faden

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Faden | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Faden, m., ‘thread, file, shred,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vaden, vadem, OHG. fadam, fadum, m.; Goth. *faþms is wanting. Comp. OSax. fathmos, ‘both arms stretched out,’ AS. fœþm, ‘both arms distended, embrace, protection, bosom,’ E. fathom (a measure), OIc. faðmr, ‘both arms, bosom.’ Consequently the primary sense is ‘encompassing with both arms,’ which could be adopted as a measure (see Klafter); hence the use of ‘fathom’ as a measure in Eng., Scand., LG., Du., and also in ModHG. (adopted from LG. and Du.). The ModHG. meaning ‘thread’ is a recent development; its lit. sense is ‘as much yarn as can be measured with the arms stretched out.’ The primary sense, ‘encompassing,’ results from Goth. faþa, f., MidHG. vade, f., ‘hedge, enclosure.’ The base of the cognates is a Teut. root, feþ, faþ, pre-Teut. pet, pot, which accords with the Gr. πετ in πετάννυμι, ‘to spread out,’ πέταλος, ‘outspread, broad, flat’; Lat. patere, ‘to stand open,’ is even more remote.

​ Fahne, f. (mas. in UpG.), ‘banner, flag, standard, squadron,’ from MidHG. vane, van, m. ‘flag, banner’; in this sense OHG. has the compound gundfano, m., since fano most frequently means ‘cloth’ (comp. ougafano, ‘veil,’ halsfano, ‘neckcloth’); allied to Goth. fana, ‘cloth, stuff, rag,’ AS. fana and gûþfana, m., ‘standard, banner,’ E. fane, vane, Du. vaan, ‘flag.’ The Teut. fanan, pre-Teut. pano-n-, has in the wider sphere of the Aryan languages many cognates which also point to the general and older meaning, ‘stuff, cloth’; Lat. pannus, ‘small piece of cloth, rag,’ OSlov. o-pona, ‘curtain,’ ponjava, f., ‘sail.’ Akin also perhaps to Gr. πῆνος, n., ‘garment,’ πηνίον, ‘spool, spindle.’ An Aryan verbal root, pen, appears in OSlov. pĭną (pęti), ‘to span, hang.’ The OTeut. gunþfano, ‘standard,’ was adopted with the meaning ‘flag’ by Romance (comp. Fr. gonfalon, Ital. gonfalone), while the simple form in Romance retained at different times the earlier and general meaning (comp. OFr. and ModFr. fanon, ‘rag, towel, fanon (of a priest).’ —

174.—VIOLIN COLLECTORS.
It has long been a source of satisfaction to virtuosi and wealthy amateurs to make collections of old and rare violins. While this keeps these valuable instruments out of use for a time, it certainly acts as a preservative, and future generations get the benefit of what we are deprived.
Paganini had in his collection, among other Cremonas, a "Strad," a small Guarnerius, an Amati, a "Strad" bass, and the large Guarnerius, which was given to him and which he loved so much that he gave it to Genoa to keep sacred from the profaning touch of any succeeding artist. I believe this wish has been followed in every case, with one exception, that of his pupil, Sivori.
A good example of the wealthy amateur was Gillott, the millionaire Birmingham (Eng.) pen manufacturer. He had a penchant (excuse the pun) for collecting violins and letting them be unused and uncared for. He was not a player himself, and it is a question whether he realized the possibilities of any one of his valuable collection. At his death there was found in one room of his factory over £40,000 worth of fiddles and in other rooms many 'cellos and basses. At one time he had about five hundred instruments collected together, making probably the largest number of valuable Italian instruments ever owned at one time by a single person.

178.—AN EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF HONORS.
Dr. Arne was once placed in a somewhat similar situation to that of Solomon when the two women each claimed the child. His disposition of the case was as fair as that of the king, only the distribution was more even, as even as Solomon threatened to make the division of the child in question.
Dr. Arne was a very prominent English composer who lived in the first half of the last century. He had been called upon to decide on the merits of two singers. Their merits, by the way, were based largely on their own appreciation of their powers, rather than on that of other people. After hearing them, Dr. Arne cried out to one of them,—
"You are the worst singer I ever heard in my life!"
"Then," exclaimed the other, "I win."
"No," answered the just judge, "you can't sing at all!"
# Anecdotes of Great Musicians/Anecdote 181

181.—HAYDN'S RECEPTION BY PRINCE ESTERHAZY.
Haydn spent some time in the service of Count Motzin, a wealthy noble. At an entertainment given by the latter there was present Prince Esterhazy, whose wealth and station exceeded that of his entertainer. During the evening there was played a symphony by Haydn which so delighted the Prince that he determined to take its composer into his service. So he sent word to Haydn to come to his palace. At the appointed time Haydn appeared before this august personage. The Prince ​glanced carelessly at the slight figure that stood before him and said:—
"Is this, then, the composer of the music I heard last night?—a Moor, I should judge, by his complexion." The composer blushed in embarrassment. "And you write such music? You do not look it. Haydn—Haydn—I recollect the name; and I believe I was told that you were not well paid for your labors?"
"I have not been fortunate, your Highness, I ——"
"Well, you shall have no reason to complain in my service. My secretary shall fix your appointments; and name whatever else you desire. Understand me, for all of your profession find me liberal. Now then, Sir Moor, you may go; and let it be your first care to provide yourself with a new coat, a wig and buckles, and heels to your shoes. I will have you respectable in appearance as well as in talents; so let me have no more shabby professors. And do your best, my little dusky, to recruit in flesh—'twill add to the stature; and to relieve your olive with a shade of the ruddy. Such spindle masters would be a walking discredit to our larder, which is truly a spendthrift one."
So saying he laughingly dismissed the humble musician. But to-day who knows aught of that proud prince as compared with the fame of that same Joseph Haydn.
