# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Werft

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Werft | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Werft (1.), m., ‘woof,’ from MidHG. and OHG. warf, n. (comp. ModHG. Hüfte from MidHG. huf), ‘warp, yarn, or thread for the warp.’ Corresponding to the equiv. AS. wearp, E. warp, OIc. varp, which are usually derived from the vb. werfen. Lith. verpti, ‘to spin,’ is perhaps derived from the Ger. word.
Werft (2.), £. and n., ‘wharf,’ ModHG. only; borrowed from LG., like many nautical expressions; comp. Du. werf (scheepstimmerwerf), E. wharf, and the equiv. Swed. varf. The word cannot, on account of the consonants, be connected with werfen. The cognates signify lit. ‘work-place,’ and are related to the verbal root of werben (which see).

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wert | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wert (1.), m., equiv. to Werder, ‘river island.’
Wert (2.), m., ‘worth, value, price,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wërt (d), OHG. wërd, n., ‘price, costly articles, splendour’; comp. OSax. wërð, ‘hero, reward,’ Goth. waírþs, ‘worth, price'; an adj. used as a subst. Based on the adj. wert, ‘worth, dear,’ from MidHG. wërt (d), OHG. wërd, ‘costing a certain price, saleable at,’ then absolutely ‘of high worth, splendid, distinguished.’ Corresponding to Goth. waírþs, ‘worthy, fit,’ AS. weorþ, and E. worth. On account of its meaning its connection with werden is improbable. Lith. wertas and OSlov. vrĕdŭ, with which it is sometimes compared, are probably Teut. loanwords. It may be related to the Aryan root wor, ‘to regard, contemplate’ (see wahren), of which wert might be a particip. derivative in the sense of ‘esteemed'; see also Ware.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Werg

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Werg | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Werg, n., ‘tow, oakum,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wërch, wërc (for the double form comp. Storch), OHG. wërah (hh), and wërc, n.; also OHG. âwirihhi, âwurihhi, n., ‘tow, stuppa.’ The OHG. and MidHG. forms of Werg are identical with those of Werf, hence the former is usually derived from the latter; this, however, does not explain the development of meaning. OHG. âwurihhi, ‘tow,’ may be connected with Werf and wirken, since it means ‘the refuse produced by work.’ Perhaps the simple word was developed from the compound.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Wergeld

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wergeld | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wergeld, n., from the equiv. MidHG. wërgëld, ‘fine for slaughter,’ lit. ‘man's, person’s money.’ For the first component comp. Werwolf, Welt.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Werwolf

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Werwolf | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Werwolf, m., ‘werewolf,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wërwolf (not recorded in OHG.). It is undoubtedly based on an OTeut. word; comp. AS. wërewulf, E. ​werewolf. From the AS. word is derived MidLat. guerulfus, OFr. garou, whence by tautology ModFr. loup-garou, ‘werewolf.’ The presupposed OTeut. werowulfo- means lit. ‘man-wolf,’ i.e., a man who roams about in the form of a wolf (Gr. λυκάνθρωπος). The first component is OHG., OSax., and AS. wër (Goth. waír), m., ‘man,’ primit. cognate with Lat. vir, Sans. vîras, ‘man.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Werder

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Werder | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Werder, m., ‘small island in a river,’ from MidHG. węrt (d), m., ‘island, peninsula,’ OHG. węrid, warid, f., ‘island.’ Corresponding to AS. waroð, ‘bank, shore,’ with AS. wœr, OIc. ver, n., ‘sea’ (for the meaning comp. Au). Its primit. kinship with Sans. vâr, ‘water,’ is not certain.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Wesen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wesen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wesen, n., ‘being, creature, nature, disposition, manners,’ from MidHG. wësen, n., ‘sojourn, domestic affairs, manner of living, quality, situation.’ An infinit. used as a subst.; MidHG. wësen, OHG. wësan (to which the ModHG. pret. forms of the vb. sein are allied), str. vb.; corresponding to Goth. wisan, ‘to be, tarry, stay’ (AS. wësan; E. was, belong to the sphere of grammar). The verbal rootves, ‘to be, abide,’ to which währen is allied, is found in non-Teut., in the Sans. root vas, ‘to stay, tarry, pass the night.’ — Allied to wesentlich adj., ‘essential,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wësentîch (wësenlîch); the t is excrescent.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Wespe

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wespe | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wespe, f., ‘wasp,’ from the equiv. MidHG. węspe, earlier węfse, f. (m.), OHG. węfsa (earlier wafsa), f.; a genuine Teut. word; comp. AS. wœfs, wœps, m., E. wasp. Hence we must probably assume a Teut. wafs-, beside which Teut. wabis-, wabit-, is presupposed by Bav. wębes, East Thuringian wêpschen, wêwetzchen (in West Thur. wispel). Aryan wops- (wobhes-), which points to the verbal root weben (see Wiebel), is almost as widely diffused in the Aryan languages as Hornisse; OBret. guohi, ‘wasps’ (from wops-), Lith. vapsà, ‘gadfly,’ OSlov. vosa, ‘wasp,’ and probably also by gradation Lat. vespa. In the MidHG. period a form vespe was borrowed from Lat. vespa; on the other hand, Fr. guêpe is probably due on account of its initial sound to Ger. influence.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Werk

​ Werk, n., ‘work, deed, production,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wërc (wërch), OHG. wërc, wërah (hh), n.; for the double forms comp. the cognate Werg. Based on a common Teut. werko-, ‘work,’ which is attested by OIc. verk, AS. weorc, E. work, Du. and OSax. wërk. For further details concerning the root, to which Gr. ἔργον is allied, see wirken.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Wermut

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Wermut | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Wermut, m., ‘wormwood, bitterness,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wërmuot, wërmüete, f. and n., OHG. wërmuota (wormuota), f. There is no clear etymological connection with Wurm, to which this uncompounded word (comp. Armut) is instinctively allied (comp. E. wormwood, from AS. wërmôd, wormôd). Its relation to warm too is not certain.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schleichen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schleichen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schleichen, vb., ‘to creep, crawl, slink,’ from MidHG. slîchen, OHG. slîhhan, ‘to walk with a light sliding motion, creep’; ‘akin to MidHG. slī̆ch, m., ‘slime, mud,’ Du. slik, slijk, ‘slime, mud,’ MidE. slîken, ‘to creep,’ with which E. sleek and slick are connected; in the other languages the Teut. root slī̆k (pre-Teut. slī̆g) rarely occurs. — To this is allied Schleiche in Blindschleiche, f., ‘blind-worm,’ MidHG. blintslîche, OHG. blintslîcho, m. See Schlich.

​ schlemmen, ‘to carouse,’ from late MidHG. slęmmen, ‘to squander,’ allied to late MidHG. slamp, ‘carouse’; comp. Du. slemp, ‘dainty meal,’ slempen, ‘to carouse,’ with which Schlempe, f., ‘rinsings,’ is connected. The term is wanting in the other Teut. languages.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schleudern

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schleudern | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schleudern, vb., ‘to perform in a slovenly manner, bungle’; it is not really related to the preceding word, though it is instinctively connected with it by Germans, in Schleuderpreis, ‘undervalue,’ for example. The vb. is allied to MidHG. slûderer, ‘he who works hastily and negligently,’ which again, with an excrescent dental (as in haudern), is akin to MidHG. slûr, m., ‘bungling, idling, idler’; comp. Schlaraffe and schlummern.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schleppen

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlau

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schlau | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schlau, adj., ‘sly, crafty, cunning,’ early ModHG. only, formed from LG. slû; comp. Du. sluw, ‘sly’; akin also probably to OIc. slœ́gr, MidE. sleigh, E. sly, which, as ModHG. verschlagen, ‘cunning,’ indicates, is perhaps connected with the root slah, ‘to strike.’ It is uncertain how far these terms are due to earlier loan-words, and whether OIc. slœ́gr is the ultimate source of them all.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlecht

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schlecht | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schlecht, adj., ‘bad, base, mean,’ from MidHG. slëht, adj., ‘honest, straight, smooth, simple, clear, correct,’ OHG. slëht, ‘straight, even, honest, simple, gentle, friendly’; corresponding to Goth. slaíhts, ‘even, straight,’ OIc. sléttr, ‘straight, even, smooth, gentle,’ OFris. sliacht, ‘honest, simple’; Du. slecht, ‘honest, bad.’ MidE. and E. slight, since the AS. word is not recorded, is probably a Du. loan-word. The meanings are evolved from ‘straight, even, simple’ (see schlicht and schlichten), and has led in ModHG. to a peculiar development in malam partem. The origin of the common Teut. adj. (or to-partic.?) *slehta- is obscure; it cannot, on account of its form and meaning, be connected with schlagen; Gr. ὀλίγος, ‘trifling,’ does not suit the earlier meaning, ‘straight, even, simple.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schlecken

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schlecken | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schlecken, vb., ‘to lick, lap, be dainty,’ from late MidHG. slëcken, ‘to eat dainties by stealth’; allied to MidHG. slëc, m., ‘daintiness, dainty mouth,’ and havenslëcke, ‘glutton’; OHG. *slëcchôn, ‘to be fond of dainties,’ is wanting, as well as a corresponding term in any of the other OTeut. dials. Not allied to schlucken, but an intensive form of OIc. sl(illegible text)ikja, ‘to lick,’ which implies a Teut. root slī̆k, sloiq.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schleißen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schleißen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schleißen, vb., ‘to slit, split, gash,’ from MidHG. slîȥen, OHG. slîȥan, ‘to split, tear to pieces, wear out’; corresponding to OSax. slîtan, ‘to tear to pieces,’ Du. slijten, ‘to wear out,’ AS. slîtan, ‘to tear to pieces,’ to which E. to slit is allied, OIc. slíta, ‘to tear to pieces.’ The Teut. root slī̆t, ‘to tear to pieces’ (Goth. *sleitan), from pre-Teut. slī̆d, has not yet been found in the non-Teut. languages. See schlitzen, the intensive form. Schleißen, wk. vb., as the factitive of the str. vb., is MidHG. and OHG. sleiȥen, sleitzen, ‘to tear to pieces, split.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/schleifen

​ schleifen, vb., ‘to slide, sharpen, whet,’ from MidHG. slîfen, ‘to glide, sink, grind a weapon,’ &c. (prop. ‘to sharpen by letting it slide’), OHG. slîfan, ‘to glide, sink, smooth’; comp. Du. slijpen, ‘to sharpen,’ AS. tô-slîpan, ‘to dissolve,’ to which are allied E. to slip, and slippers (Ital. schippire, ‘to escape’). How the Teut. root slī̆p, ‘to glide, slip,’ is connected with the equiv. root slū̆p, discussed under the preceding word, and further also with schleichen (root slī̆k), has not yet been ascertained. The corresponding factitive schleichen, vb., ‘to trail,’ from MidHG. and OHG. sleifen, lit. ‘to cause to slide along,’ hence ‘to drag along, trail,’ even late MidHG. eine burc sleifen, ‘to raze a city’; comp. LG. and Du. slepen, ‘to drag along the ground, trail,’ whence ModHG. schleppen is borrowed. See Schiff.

​ schleunig, adj., ‘hasty, speedy,’ from MidHG. sliunec, OHG. slûnîg, ‘quick, speedy,’ in OHG. also ‘thriving.’ A lengthened form of Goth. *slû-na-, for which we have, however, snû-na-; the l seems to have been produced by assimilation on account of the suffix n. Allied to the OTeut. root
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Drillich

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Drillich | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Drillich, m., ‘ticking,’ from MidHG. drilich, drilch, m., ‘a stuff woven with three threads’; an adj. signifying ‘threefold’ formed into a subst.; see Zwillich. Dri- is the older form for drei in compounds (see dritte, Zwil-, and Drilling); OHG. drĭfalt, ‘threefold.’ OHG. drilîch, ‘threefold, consisting of three threads,’ is the convenient Ger. rendering of the Lat. trĭlîx (trîlîcem), ‘triple-twilled, from lîcium, ‘thread.’ Similar formations may be seen in Zwillich and Sammet.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Drohne | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Drohne, f., ‘drone.’ The strict HG. form is Trehne, Trene (so still in Saxony and Austria), according to MidHG. trëne, trën, OHG. trëno, m. Drohne is a LG. form derived from Sax. drân, plur. drâni, to which AS. drân, plur. drœ̂n, E. drone, correspond; both point to Goth. *drainus, *drênus, while OHG. trëno assumes perhaps Goth. *drina; the relation between the theoretical Goth. forms has not yet been definitely fixed. The base drē̆n seems to appear in dröhnen (Goth. drunjus, ‘loud sound’). From the same root probably a Gr. term for ‘bee’ is formed — τεμθρήνη, ‘a sort of wasp or humble-bee' (also ἀνθρήνη, ‘wild bee’? — comp. too τενθρηδών, ανθρηδών), also Lacon. θρώναξ, ‘drone.’ Biene, like Drohne, is a primit. Teut. term. See the following word.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Drache | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Drache, m. (with a MidG. d), ‘dragon, kite, termagant,’ from MidHG. trache, (UpG. tracke). OHG. trahho (UpG. traccho), m.; the ModHG. initial sound is to be regarded in the same way as in dichten (comp. MidLG. and MidDu. drâke). The word was naturalised in Germany before the 8th cent.; as in the case of the bird Greif, ‘griffin,’ the dragon as a fabulous beast furnished material for the imaginative faculty of the Germans, and supplanted the native mythological creations. The E. loan-word is equally old — AS. draca, E. drake (in drake-fly or dragon-fly). The word is based on Lat. (Rom.) draco (dracco), which again is derived from Gr. δράκων, ‘dragon,’ lit. ‘the sharp-sighted animal’ (from δέρκομαϊ). E. dragon, is of recent Rom. origin (Fr. dragon).

​ Draht, m., ‘wire, file,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. drât, m.; comp. Du. draad, AS. þrœ̂d, equiv. to E. thread, OIc. þráðr, Goth. *þrêþs; a dental deriv. of the Teut. root þrê, ‘to turn, twist,’ which appears in ModHG. drehen. The pre-Teut. trê lies at the base of Gr. τρῆσις, ‘hole,’ which is identical in form with ModHG. Draht; for the meaning comp. drehen, Darm.

​ Dreck, m., ‘dirt, mire, filth, dung,’ from the equiv. MidHG. drëc (gen. -ckes), m., ‘dirt’; OHG. *drëcch, Goth. *þrikk, m., are supported by OIc. þrekkr, m., ‘dirt’ (Dan. dräck). Perhaps derived from the meaning ‘sediment, lees,’ so that Gr. τρύξ, τρυγός, ‘lees, sediment, fresh must’ (with υ for o?), may perhaps be compared.

​ Droge, f., ‘drug,’ ModHG. only, from Fr. drogue, which with its Rom. cognate droga (Ital., Span.) is usually derived from Du. droog (see trocken); yet there are essential reasons for ascribing the word to an Eastern origin.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/rümpfen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/rümpfen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ rümpfen, vb., ‘to turn up (the nose),’ from MidHG. rümphen, ‘to turn up (the nose), wrinkle’; OHG. *rumpfen is wanting, rimpfan (MidHG. rimphen), ‘to contract, wrinkle,’ being used; comp. Du. rimpelen, ‘to wrinkle,’ and rompelig, ‘rugged.’ The cognates have scarcely lost an initial h in spite of the existence of AS. hrympele, ‘wrinkle,’ and gehrumpen, ‘wrinkled,’ since gerumpen, ‘bent,’ is also recorded in AS. without an initial h. The Teut. root rimp (comp. further E. rimple, rumple, and Du. rimpel, ‘wrinkle’) has been connected with Gr. ῥάμφος, ‘curved beak, espec. of birds of prey,’ as well as ῥέμβομαι, ‘to roam,’ ῥαμφή, ‘curved dagger.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/sagen

​ sagen, vb., ‘to say, tell, utter,’ from the equiv. MidHG. sagen, OHG. sagên; corresponding to OSax. sęggian, LG. seggen, Du. zeggen, AS. sęcgan (from *sagjan). E. to say, and its equiv. OIc. segja. In Goth. both *sagan and every other derivative from the same root are wanting. Teut. sagai-, which comes by the rule of grammatical change from Aryan sokē̆y-, is closely allied to Lith. sakýti, ‘to say,’ OSlov. sočiti, ‘to notify’; with this OLat. insece, ‘I narrate’ (in-sectiones, ‘tales’), is usually connected, as well as the Gr. root σεπ, σεκϝ in ἔννεπε for ἐν-σεπε, ἔ-σπ-ετε, ‘tell (thou or ye).’ OIr. sagim, saigim, ‘I speak, say,’ also point to a similar class. In Rom. only one loan-word of this class is found; comp. Span. sayon, ‘usher’ (of a law-court), lit. ‘speaker.’

​ rüsten, vb., ‘to prepare, equip, arm,’ from MidHG. rüsten, OHG. rusten, earlier *hrustjan, ‘to arm, prepare, adorn’; comp. Du. rusten, AS. hyrstan (for hrystan), ‘to deck, adorn.’ A denom. of OHG. rust, ‘armour,’ AS. hyrst, ‘decoration, adornment, armour,’ which again are verbal abstracts from a Teut. root hruþ, ‘to adorn.’ Comp. AS. hreódan, ‘to adorn,’ OIc. hrjóða, ‘to cleanse, discharge (a ship).’ May we also connected with this root hruþ, Teut. *hrossa-, ‘charger,’ as a partic. in ta- in the sense of ‘that which is adorned,’ in so far as it is an object of adornment? The Teut. root hruþ (from Aryan kruth, krut?) has been said, probably without any proof, to exist in Gr. κεκορυθμένος, ‘armed,’ κορύσσω, ‘to arm,’ κορυθ-, ‘helmet’; yet the dissyllable root κορυθ- cannot be made to tally with the Teut. hruþ of one syllable. See also Gerüste.
