# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Hand

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Hand | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hand, f., ‘hand,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. hant, f.; comp. OSax. and Du. hand, AS. hand, f., E. hand, OIc. hǫnd, Goth. handus, f.; a common Teut. word for ‘hand,’ unknown to the other divisions of the Aryan group, most of the languages having special terms of their own. It is usually derived from Goth. hinþan, ‘to catch,’ frahunþans, m., ‘prisoner’ (comp. the cognate E. to hunt, AS. huntian), in the sense of ‘the grasping, seizing part,’ and to this there is no objection, as far as the sound and meaning are concerned. ​Yet the fact remains that the old names of parts of the body have no corresponding str. verbal stems; comp. Herz, Ohr, Auge, Finger, Daumen. With regard to the form, it is to be observed that the word, according to Goth. handus, was orig. a u-stem, but is declined even in OHG. like nouns in i, though traces of the u declension remain throughout OHG. and MidHG.; comp. abhanden.
Hand, ‘kind, sort,’ is developed from the medial sense ‘side’; comp. MidHG. ze beiden handen, ‘on both sides,’ aller hande, ‘of every kind,’ vier hande, ‘of four sorts.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Engel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Engel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Engel, masculine, from the equivalent Middle High German ęngel, Old High German ęngil, angil, masculine, ‘angel’; corresponding to Old Saxon ęngil, Dutch engel, Anglo-Saxon ęngel (but English angel is borrowed from the Old French angele), Old Icelandic engell, Gothic aggilus, masculine, ‘angel.’ The cognates which are diffused throughout Teutonic are borrowed from the ecclesiastical Latin angelus, or more probably from Greek ἄγγελος, ‘angel.’ How they were borrowed cannot, it is true, be discovered with any certainty (compare Teufel).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Engerling

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Engerling. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Engerling, masculine, ‘grub of the cockchafer,’ from Middle High German ęngerlinc, Middle High German Old High German ęngerinc(g), masculine, ‘corn-weevil,’ a derivative of Old High German angar, angari, Middle High German anger, ęnger, ‘corn-weevil’; scarcely ​connected directly with enge. It is more probable that Lithuanian anksztiraí, ‘measles (of swine), cockchafer grubs,’ Polish węgry, ‘measles (of swine),’ are primitively cognates.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ente

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Ente. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ente, feminine, ‘duck,’ from the equivalent Middle High German ęnte (for *ęnete), ant (plural ęnte), Old High German anut, ęnit, feminine; a term common to Teutonic; compare Middle Low German anet(d), Dutch eend, Anglo-Saxon œned, Old Icelandic ǫnd, feminine, ‘duck.’ The assumed Gothic form *anuþs points to a primitive kinship with Latin anat-, ‘duck,’ with which some have also connected Sanscrit âti (see, however, Eider), as well as Old Slovenian ątĭ, Lithuanian ántis, ‘duck.’ For the English term ‘duck’ (Anglo-Saxon dûce), see tauchen). —
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Eppich

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Eppich. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Eppich, masculine, ‘celery, parsley,’ with Low German consonants, from Middle High German ępfĭch, Old High German ępfī̆h, neuter, which are preceded by the shorter forms, Middle High German ępfe, ęffe, Old High German ępfi, neuter. This word, like other names of plants connected with horticulture and cookery, was borrowed previous to the Old High German period (see Kohl) from Latin; the original word in this instance is apium, which denotes a species of umbelliferous plants, comprising parsley, celery, &c.; only in Modern High German has Eppich been confused in meaning with Epheu.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Enterich

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Enterich. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Enterich (Suabian antrecht), masculine, ‘drake,’ a modification of Middle High German antreche, Old High German antrahho (Danish andrik); probably the correct form is *anutirahho?. In Low German simply Drake, equivalent to English drake, which has certainly nothing to do with Drache, ‘dragon,’ Latin draco. Other terms for drake are Low German erpel in Pomerania, weddik in Mecklenburg, and wart in Holstein, all of obscure origin. Note further Swiss and Bavarian Entvogel for Enterich.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Epheu

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Epheu. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Epheu, masculine, ‘ivy,’ from the equivalent Middle High German ëphöu, ëbehöu, Old High German ëbahęwi, neuter; even at the present day the word is pronounced Ep-heu in Upper German dialects (Franconian, Suabian, and Alemannian), partly corrupted to Räb-heu, while the Modern High German pronunciation has been influenced by the written language. Of course it is impossible to say positively whether Heu is to be regarded as the second component, especially as the other forms are difficult to explain. Old High German has also ëbawi, ëbah, Anglo-Saxon îfig, English ivy, Middle Low German îflôf, îwlôf, Dutch eiloof, ‘ivy.’ The base of the cognates seems to be a common Teutonic ī̆ba-; yet no definitive clue can be found.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Erbe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Erbe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Erbe, neuter, ‘heritage, inheritance,’ from Middle High German ęrbe, Old High German ęrbi, arbi, neuter, ‘inheritance’; a word common to Teutonic; compare the equivalent Gothic arbi, Anglo-Saxon yrfe (obsolete in English), Dutch erf, Old Saxon ęrƀi. Akin to Erbe, masculine, ‘heir, inheritor,’ from the equivalent Middle High German ęrbe, Old High German ęrbo, arbeo (Gothic arbja), masculine. With the Teutonic root arbh, ‘to inherit,’ some have connected the Old Irish comarpi, ‘joint heirs,’ and Greek ὀρφανός, Latin orbus, ‘orphaned,’ Armenian orb, ‘orphan’; Erbe, literally ‘orphan’?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Endivie

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Endivie. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Endivie, feminine, ‘endive,’ early Modern High German only, formed from the equivalent Middle Latin and Romance endivia (Latin intibus).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Enke

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Enke. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Enke, masculine (unknown to Upper German), from the equivalent Middle High German ęnke, masculine, ‘farm servant, bind,’ Old High German ęncho, *ancheo (*ankjo), masculine, ‘servant’; corresponds only to Old Frisian inka and Low German enke, ‘servant.’ It is uncertain whether the word is primitively cognate with Latin ancilla, ‘maid-servant,’ since Latin c would be normally changed into Low German h or g; perhaps, however, it is based on the Aryan root ank or ang.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Enkel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Enkel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Enkel (1.), masculine, ‘ankle,’ from Middle High German ęnkel, masculine, Old High German ęnckil, anchal, masculine; numerous primitive variants obscure the etymology. Old Icelandic ǫkkla, neuter, Anglo-Saxon ǫncleów, neuter (English ankle), Middle Dutch anclau, Old High German anchlâo, ‘anklebone,’ seem to be modifications of the primary form, but do they suggest any connection with Klaue (compare Anglo-Saxon ondcleów with oncleów)?. There is a difficulty in determining the relation of Old High German ęnchil, anchal, to anchlâo, and their further connection with Middle High German anke, masculine, ‘joint of the foot, nape’ (even now Anke in Upper German and Middle German dialects is the term for ‘nape, neck’), Old High German ęncha, feminine (from ankia), ‘thigh, tibia’ (French anche, ‘reed, mouthpiece’). Perhaps allied to Sanscrit án̄ga, ‘limb,’ an̄gúri, ‘finger.’
Enkel (2.), masculine, from the equivalent Middle High German ęnenkel, ęninkel, masculine, late Old High German ęninchilî(n), neuter, ‘grandson.’ Since even in Middle High German the forms ęnikel and ęniklîn appear, Modern High German Enkel is most closely connected with a form enekel, in which the medial e was syncopated. The termination inklîn is frequently found as a diminutive suffix; compare Anglo-Saxon scipincel, ‘small ship,’ liþincel, ‘small limb,’ Old High German lęwinchilî(n), ‘small lion,’ huoninchilî(n), ‘chicken.’ Hence Old High German ęninchilî is a diminutive of Ahn, Old High German ano (Gothic *ana, genitive *anin-s), ‘grandfather,’ and signifies literally ‘little grandfather, grandfather's child’; compare the similar evolution of meaning in Latin avunculus (see Oheim). In the non-Teutonic languages there is probably another corresponding term besides the word cited under Ahn — Old Slovenian vŭnukŭ, ‘grandson.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/geschickt

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/geschickt | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ geschickt, ‘apt, skilful, adroit,’ prop. a partic., MidHG. geschicket, ‘arranged, prepared, ready, suitable,’ from MidHG. schicken, ‘to arrange, set in order.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/geschlacht

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/geschlacht | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ geschlacht, adj., ‘of good quality, soft, tender, shapely,’ from MidHG. geslaht, ​OHG. gislaht, ‘well brought up, noble, well behaved’; ungeschlacht, ‘uncouth, unwieldy, boorish,’ even in MidHG. ungeslaht, OHG. ungislaht, ‘ignoble, base.’ Allied to ModHG. Geschlecht, n., ‘species, race, extraction, family,’ from MidHG. geslehte, n., ‘race, tribe, family, quality,’ OHG. gislahti; comp. OHG. slahta, f., ‘race, family,’ MidHG. slahta, ‘manner, relation’; akin also to Schlag (e.g. Menschenschlag, ‘race of men’), not found in OHG. and MidHG. It is difficult to determine the relation of these cognates to schlagen; even in OHG. slahan itself means ‘to take after, resemble’ (e.g. nâh dên fordôrôn slahan, ‘to resemble one's ancestors’), for which in late MidHG. nâch-slahen occurs, ModHG. nachschlagen. Probably the str. vb. in OTeut. once had the meaning ‘to beget,’ which cannot now be authenticated; of this vb. OHG. gislaht, ‘of good quality,’ would be an old partic. in to (see falt, traut, laut), with a development of meaning similar to that of König. Comp. Fr. gentil, equiv. to Lat. gentilis.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/geschwind

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/geschwind | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ geschwind, adj. and adv., ‘swift(ly), rapid(ly), quick(ly),’ from geswinde, adj. and adv., ‘quick(ly), vehement(ly)'; in earlier ModHG. schwinde, MidHG. swinde (swint), ‘powerful, strong, quick.’ In OHG. the adj. is wanting (yet the proper names Amalswind and Adalswind are recorded). The prim. meaning is ‘strong’; the development of meaning to ‘quick’ is similar to that of bald; Goth. swinþs, ‘strong, powerful, healthy,’ OIc. svinnr, ‘intelligent,’ AS. swið, ‘strong, violent,’ show various aspects of the primary meaning. The origin of the cognates is obscure; its relation to gesund is dubious.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/gestalt

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/gestalt | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ gestalt, adj., ‘having form or shape,’ in wohlgestalt, ungestalt; comp. MidHG. ungestalt, OHG. ungistalt, ‘disfigured, ugly,’ MidHG. wolgestalt (wol ges'ęllet); a partic. of MidHG. stęllen, which may also mean ‘to shape, make, accomplish, set in order.’ To this is allied Gestalt, f., ‘external appearance, shape, figure, mien,’ MidHG. gestalt, f., ‘shape, appearance, nature,’ OHG. *gistalt. Considering the comparatively late appearance of the word (not until the end of the 13th cent.), Gestalt may have been derived from the old compound, OHG. ungistalt, MidHG. ungestalt, adj., ‘disfigured.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/geschehen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/geschehen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ geschehen, vb., ‘to happen, occur, befall,’ from the equiv. MidHG. geschëhen, OHG. giscëhan; a specifically G. word (MidDu. geschien, Du. geschieden), as well as the corresponding factitive schicken. It is uncertain whether the word is connected with Goth. skêwjan, ‘to go,’ and the Teut. root skeh (*kē̆hw, skē̆w), from skek, or OSlov. skokŭ, ‘leap,’ and OIr. *scuchim, ‘I go or pass away.’ See Geschichte and schicken.’

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Kuppe

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Kuppe | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Kuppe, f., ‘peak, summit,’ adopted by the written language in the last century from MidHG.; in HG. the form would have pf. Koppe and Kuppe, as well as Kaupe (‘crest of birds,’ also termed Koppe, comp. OSax. coppod, ‘cristatus’ of snakes, under Kopf), are allied words, with the prim. meaning ‘point, extreme end,’ which belonged orig. to the strictly HG. permutated form Kopf. The further history of all these terms is obscure; under Kopf it is assumed that they are of genuine Teut. origin, though the possibility of their being blended with MidLat. and Rom. cupa, ‘beaker,’ is granted. In MidHG. kuppe, f. OHG. chuppa, f., means ‘covering for the head’ (espec. under the helmet); see Kopf.

​ Kutte, f., ‘cowl,’ from MidHG. kutte, f., ‘monk's habit’; comp. MidLat. cotta, cottus, ‘tunica clericis propria,’ which, however, with the corresponding Rom. words (Fr. cotte, ‘‘petticoat,’ Ital. cotta), may be traced back to Teut. kotta-, appearing in OHG. chozzo, MidHG. kotze, ‘coarse woollen stuff, cover.’ Comp.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Kupfer

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Kupfer | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Kupfer, n., ‘copper,’ from the equiv. MidHG. kupfer, OHG. chupfar, n.; an old loan-word from which *kuppor must have been the earliest form; the word was borrowed before the 7th cent.; comp. Du. and MidLG. koper, AS. copor, E. copper, Scand. kopar. These are probably based on MidLat. cuper (gen. -eris). Late Lat. cuprum, or rather œs cyprium, or simply cyprium (whence Fr. cuivre), is an Italian (not a Greek) term; the Teuts. probably owe to the Italians their earliest knowledge of copper. The island of Cyprus was called Kipper by the Germans of the Middle Ages, following the Byzant. and ModGr. pronunciation of Κύπρος; hence MidHG. kippor or kipperwîn, ‘Cyprian wine.’

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Maus

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Maus | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Maus (1.), ‘mouse,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. mûs, f.; comp. Du. muis, AS. mûs, f., E. mouse, OIc. mús (Goth. *mûs), f., ‘mouse.’ In the consonantal form of the stem, mûs-, it is the common Teut. as well as the common Aryan term for ‘mouse.’ The name occurs in almost all the Aryan languages, a proof that the Aryans in their primit. Asiatic home were already acquainted with the tiny animal, chiefly through its thefts, mûs- being derived from an OAryan root, mū̆s, ‘to steal,’ which exists in the Franc. chrêomosido, ‘plundering dead bodies,’ of the Lex Salica, and signifying ‘thief’ (it is possible, however, that the mū̆s, ‘to steal,’ is deduced from mûs, ‘mouse’). Comp. Sans. mûš, ‘mouse,’ with the root muš, mušây, ‘to take away, rob’; also Gr. μῦς, OSlov. myšĭ, f. Comp. further the following word.
Maus (2.), prop. ‘muscles on the arm and foot,’ now espec. ‘ball of the thumb,’ ​from MidHG. mûs, f., ‘muscles especially of the upper part of the arm’; OHG. mûs, AS. mûs, Du. muis, have the same sense; prop. identical with Maus (1). In other cases too names of animals are applied to parts of the body. Comp. Gr. μῦς, ‘muscle,’ μυών, ‘cluster of muscles,’ Lat. mus-culus, ‘muscle,’ lit. ‘little mouse,’ OSlov. myšĭca, ‘arm,’ Sans. muš-ka, ‘testicle, pudenda muliebria,’ lit. ‘little mouse.’
