# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/reif

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/reif | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ reif, adj., ‘ripe, mature,’ from the equiv. MidHG. rîfe, OHG. rîfi, adj.; corresponding to the equiv. OSax. rîpi, Du. rijp, AS. rîpe, E. ripe; a verbal adj. allied to AS. rī̆pan, ‘to reap’ (whence E. to reap), signifying ‘that which can be reaped.’ The Teut. root rîp, with the orig. sense ‘to cut, reap’ (comp. AS. rîfter, ‘sickle’), has not yet been found in the other Aryan languages.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/reich

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/reich | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ reich, adj., ‘rich, copious, abounding,’ from MidHG. rîhhi, OHG. rîhhi, adj., ‘mighty, rich, splendid’; corresponding to OSax. rîki, ‘mighty, powerful,’ AS. rîce, ‘mighty, powerful,’ E. rich, Goth. reiks, ‘mighty, distinguished.’ From the G. adj. the equiv. Rom. cognates are derived; comp. Ital. ricco, Fr. riche, ‘rich.’ The comon Teut. adj. is a derivative of the root *rîk, ‘king,’ discussed under the preceding word, hence ‘mighty’ is the earlier meaning of the cognates; ‘royal’ (Lat. régius) is the orig. sense.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/rennen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ rennen, vb., ‘to run,’ from MidHG. and OHG. rennen, prop. ‘to cause to flow, chase, drive,’ espec. ‘to make a horse leap, burst,’ hence the reflexive meaning of the ModHG. word; corresponding to OSax. rennian, Goth. rannjan, which are factitives of rinnen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Finne

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Finne | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Finne (1.), f., ‘fin,’ first occurs in ModHG. from LG. finne, Du. vin, ‘fin’; first recorded in the Teut. group in AS. (finn, m., E. fin), hence it cannot have been borrowed from Lat. pinna, ‘fin of the dolphin, feather.’ No Teut. word can be proved to have been borrowed from Lat. before the period of the OTeut. substitution of consonants, i.e., before the beginning of our era (see Hanf). Hence AS. finn must be assumed as primit. cognate with Lat. pinna. Is it, like penna, based upon pesna (OLat.)? If it were based upon *pis-nâ, ‘fin,’ it might perhaps be regarded as cognate with piscis, Goth. fiska- (fis-ka), ‘fish.’
Finne (2.), f., ‘tumour, scrofula,’ from MidHG. vinne, pfinne, ‘pimple, foul rancid smell’; comp. Du. vin, ‘pimple.’ The relation of the initial sounds is not clear; MidHG. pfinne points to Goth. p, Du. vin to f initially; perhaps the double form is due to confusion with Finne (1.); p may be the correct initial sound.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fink | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fink, m., ‘finch,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vinke, OHG. fincho, m.; corresponds to Du. vink, AS. finc, E. finch, Swed. fink, Dan. finke, ‘finch’; Goth. *finki-, *finkjan-, are wanting. There is a striking similarity of sound in the Rom. words for ‘finch’ — Ital. pincione, Fr. pinson, to which the E. dialectal forms pink, pinch, ‘finch,’ belong. Yet there is no suspicion that the Teut. word was borrowed; the Teut. class is probably primit. allied to the Rom. word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Finte

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Finte | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Finte, f., lit. ‘feint,’ also ‘trick, fib,’ first occurs in ModHG., from Ital. finta, ‘cunning’ (Fr. feinte).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Filz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Filz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Filz, m., ‘felt, blanket; miser; reprimand,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vilz, OHG. filz, m.; comp. Du. vilt, AS. and E. felt, Swed. and Dan. filt, ‘felt’ (Goth. *filtis, pre-Teut. *peldos, n.). Lat. pilus, pileus, Gr. πῖλος, are scarcely allied; it is more probably connected with OSlov. plŭstĭ, ‘felt.’ From the Teut. word are derived the similarly sounding Romance words, Ital. feltro, Fr. feutre, MidLat. filtrum, ‘felt.’ Other words also relating to weaving were introduced into Romance from Teut. See Haspe, Rocken.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Fieber

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fieber | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fieber, n., ‘fever,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vieber, OHG. fiebar, n.; from Lat.-Romance febris, with a change of gender as in AS. fêfor, n., equiv. to E. fever; OHG. and MidHG. ie for e, as in Brief, Ziegel, Spiegel, Priester; so too ModHG. Bieber-, MidHG. biever, from vieber, with an interchange of consonants, as in Essig and Kabeljau.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Fiedel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fiedel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fiedel, f., from the equiv. MidHG. videl, videle, f., OHG. fidula (as early as Otfried), f., ‘fiddle, violin’; comp. Du. vedel, AS. fiþele, E. fiddle, OIc. fiþla. OHG. fidula is based, according to AS. fiþele, ‘fiddle,’ fiþelêre, ‘fiddler,’ fiþelestre, ‘fidicina,’ upon an older West Teut. *fiþula. The latter form with þ might be deduced from Lat. *fitula or fidula (for fidicula?), yet these primary forms are not recorded. There is undeniable connection between the Teut. class and the Romance cognates — Ital. viola, Fr. viole, ‘violin,’ the origin of which, it is true, is much disputed. Still Harfe found its way from Teut. into Romance.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Finger

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Finger | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Finger, m., ‘finger,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vinger, OHG. fingar, m.; a common Teut. term; comp. Goth. figgrs, OIc. fingr, AS. and E. finger. It is uncertain whether the word is derived from fangen, root fanh, and it is questionable whether it comes from the root finh, pre-Teut. pink, ‘to prick, paint,’ Lat. fingo (see Feile); it is most probably primit. allied to fünf (Aryan penqe). The terms Hand, Finger, Zehe are specifically Teut., and cannot be etymologically explained with certainty. Besides there existed even in OTeut. a definite term for each finger. First of all the thumb obtained its name, which is a rudimentary and hence very old form; for the remaining names see under Daumen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Firlefanz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Firlefanz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Firlefanz, m., ‘nonsense, drollery,’ from MidHG. virlefanz, m., ‘a sort of dance,’ whence the meaning in ModHG. ‘foppish, silly manner.’ Some have tried to connect it with Norw. fillefant, ‘scoundrel,’ fantefolk, ‘gipsies,’ which would make it akin to Fant. On account of the late appearance of the word it is impossible to decide, however, whether AS. fyrlen, ‘far, distant,’ is the basis of the first part of the compound, or rather MidHG. firlei, ‘a dance’ (Fr. virelai, ‘virelay’). See Fant.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Fichte

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fichte | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fichte, f., ‘pine, fir,’ from MidHG. vichte, f., OHG. fiohta, fiuhta, f., ‘fir.’ No cognate term is found in any of the other Teut. dialects, yet Fichte is proved from the non-Teut. languages to be primitive; comp. Gr. πεύκη, ‘fir,’ Lith. puszìs, ‘fir.’ The HG. form is fuller by a dental affix than the Gr. and Lith. words.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Fibel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Fibel, f., ‘primer,’ first occurs in early MidHG. (15th cent.), probably a LG. word orig. formed from Bibel; the earlier variant wibel (wivel?) points to ModGr. pronunciation. Perhaps Fibel represents Bivel (comp. Essig, Bieber).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/widerwärtig

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry widerwärtig. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ widerwärtig, adjective, ‘adverse, repugnant, repulsive,’ from Middle High German widerwertic, -wartic (widërwert, -wart), adjective, ‘striving against, refractory, hostile,’ Old High German widarwart, wartic (g), ‘opposed.’ Compare wärts —

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry wild. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ wild, adjective, ‘wild, savage, fierce,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wilde, Old High German wildi, adjective, corresponding to Gothic wilþeis, Anglo-Saxon wilde, English wild, Dutch wild, Old Saxon wildi; the corresponding Old Icelandic villr usually signifies ‘going astray, confused.’ French sauvage (from Latin silvaticus), as a derivative of Latin silva, has led to the assumption that the Teutonic cognates are derived from Wald. This view is not probable, since wild seems to be used only of living beings (literally ‘senseless, irrational’?); compare the Scandinavian signification. Moreover, the substantive Wild, neuter (‘wild animals, game, deer’), which cannot be derived from the adjective, has a more original form; compare Middle High German wilt (d), Old High German and Anglo-Saxon wild, neuter (Anglo-Saxon also wildor, and later wildeór), ‘wild animals,’ from Teutonic wilþiz, neuter (hence pre-Teutonic weltos-, neuter, ‘wild animals,’ but wéltjo-, ‘wild, savage’). Hence the connection with Wald is improbable, though a more certain origin has not yet been found.

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry wie. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ wie, adverb, ‘how, in what way,’ from the equivalent Middle High German wie, Old High German wio, which is derived from *hwêu for *hewu, hwaiwô; the last form is indicated only by Gothic ​hwaiwa, ‘how.’ Based on the Teutonic pronominal stem hwa-, Aryan qe, qo. The formation of pre-Teutonic koiwô is identical with that of Sanscrit êvā̆, ‘in this manner,’ from the pronominal stem a, ‘this.’ Another form is preserved in English how, from the equivalent Anglo-Saxon hû (equivalent to Old Saxon and Teutonic hwô).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/wieder

​ wider, preposition and adverb, ‘against,’ from Middle High German wider, Old High German widar, ‘against, towards, back, once more’; corresponding to Gothic wiþra, preposition, ‘against, before,’ Old Saxon wiðar (and wið), preposition, ‘against,’ Dutch weder, weêr, Anglo-Saxon wiðer (and wið), ‘against’ (hence English with). Teutonic wiþrô, ‘against,’ and the equivalent wiþe are based on the Aryan preposition wi, ‘against,’ which is preserved in Sanscrit vi, ‘asunder, apart’ (to which vitarám, ‘further,’ is allied). Compare hinter. — Allied to widern, anwidern, verb, ‘to loathe, be offensive,’ literally ‘to be opposed,’ from Middle High German widern, ‘to be opposite.’ —

Goth. weis, ‘knowing,’ OSax. and AS. wîs, ‘wise, knowing,’ E. wise, Du. wijs. The primary form of the word was a verbal adj. from wissen (wîso- for wîtto-). Allied to the following word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/weissagen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/weissagen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ weissagen, vb., ‘to foretell, prophesy, predict,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wîssagen, OHG. wîssagôn, wk. vb.; it is not organically connected with sagen. Based on OHG. wîȥȥago (wîȥago), ‘prophet,’ a derivative of the Teut. root wī̆t, ‘to know’ (comp. AS. wîtga, ‘prophet’). This form was corrupted to wîssagôn in the OHG. period by connecting it with wîs, ‘wise,’ and sago, ‘speaker,’ or rather with OHG. forasago (OLG. wâr-sago), ‘prophet.’ OHG. wîȥȥago is properly a subst. formed from the Teut. adj. *wîtag, ‘knowing, intelligible, wise’ AS. (wîtig).

This common Teut. term (hwîto-) is based on an Aryan root kwī̆d, kwī̆t, from which are derived Sans. çvit, ‘to be white, to shine’ (so too çvêtá, çvitrá, çvitna, ‘white’), Zend spaẹta, ‘white,’ OSlov. světŭ, ‘light,’ and Lith. szvaitýti, ‘to make bright.’ Goth. hwaiteis (ModHG. Weizen, ‘wheat’), is related by gradation.

​ welch, pron., ‘which, what,’ from MidHG. wëlch, wëlich, interr. pron., OHG. wë-, wie-lī̆h (hh and h), interr. pron., ‘who, which’; corresponding to Goth. hwileiks (hwêleiks), OSax. hwilik, Du. welk, AS. hwylč, E. which.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/weiland | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ weiland, adv., ‘formerly, of yore,’ from the equiv. MidHG. wîlent, wîlen; the t form is a recent extension of the earlier word (Du. wijlen). Based on OHG. hwîlôm, ‘at times,’ dat. plur. of Weile, f., ‘while, space of time, leisure.’ The latter is based on MidHG. wîle, OHG. wîla (hwîl), f., ‘time, period of time, hour’; corresponding to OSax. hwîl, hwîla, ‘time,’ Du. wîjl, E. while, Goth. hweila, ‘time.’ The verb weilen, ‘to stay, tarry, sojourn,’ from MidHG. and OHG. wîlē̆n, ‘to stop, stay, sojourn,’ in connection with OIc. hvíla, ‘bed,’ hvíld, ‘rest,’ suggests that Weile meant lit. ‘resting time.’ It has been compared with the Lat. root qui (quiê), ‘to rest’ in quietus, tranquillus, as well as with OSlov. počiti, ‘to rest’; Gr. καιρός, ‘point of time,’ is perhaps cognate.

​ welk, adj., ‘withered, faded,’ from MidHG. and OHG. wëlc (wëlch), ‘moist, mild, lukewarm, faded’; peculiar to HG.; connected with MidE. welken, E. to welk, and Wolke. The primary meaning of the Teut. root welk, from Aryan welg, is ‘to be moist,’ as is indicated also by OSlov. vlaga, ‘moistness,’ vlûgûkû, ‘moist,’ Lith. vìlgyti, ‘to ​moisten,’ Lett. wélgans, wálgans, ‘moist,’ unless these are more closely allied to AS. wlacu, wlœc, ‘moist.’ From a form *walki, connected with OHG. wëlk, Fr. gauche, ‘left,’ is usually derived.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/welsch

​ welsch, adj., ‘foreign, outlandish (espec. Italian or French),’ from MidHG. węlsch (węlhisch, walhisch), ‘Romance, French, Italian,’ OHG. walhisc, ‘Romance’; a derivative of MidHG. Walch, OHG. Walh, ‘one of the Latin race.’ The corresponding AS. Wealh was applied to the ‘Kelt,’ and this is the lit. meaning of the word (comp. the Keltic tribal name Volcae, on which Teut. Walho- is based; it was applied to the Latin race when they occupied Gaul, which had been formerly inherited by the Kelts. Comp. further Walnuß and the E. local names Wales (AS. Wălas) and Cornwall.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/weinen

​ weinen, vb., ‘to weep, cry,’ from the equiv. MidHG. weinen, OHG. weinôn; comp. Du. weenen, AS. wânian, OIc. veina, ‘to weep.’ Probably a derivative of the Teut. interj. wai (see weh); hence weinen, lit. ‘to lament’ (the origin of the word would be similar to that of ächzen). It is also possible that Goth. qainôn, ‘to weep, is based in the other dialects on wai, ‘woe.’
