| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Pilz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Pilz, m., ‘mushroom, fungus,’ from the equiv. MidHG. büleȥ (bülȥ), OHG. buliȥ (ModHG. i for ü is UpG. and MidG., as in Kitt); a specifically G. loan-word (comp. LG. bülte) from Lat. bôlêtus (Gr. βωλίτης), ‘mushroom’; probably naturalised in G. before the 7th cent., as may be inferred from the permutation of t to z (for Lat. ê, represented by OHG. î and ĭ comp. Kette and Münze). Its rare occurrence in Rom. (Grisons bulieu, Fr. bolet, Vosges bulo) supports the very early adoption of the word in HG. (comp. Pfühl).

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Aussatz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Aussatz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Aussatz, m., from the equiv. late MidHG. ûȥ-satz, m., ‘leprosy’; a singular, late and regressive formation from the MidHG. subst. ûȥsetze and ûȥsetzel, ‘leper,’ MidHG. ûȥsetzig, adj., ‘leprous,’ OHG. ûȥ-sâzzo, ûȥ-sâzeo, m., ‘leper’; lit. ‘one who lives outside, separate’; those who were afflicted with leprosy were exposed. Considering ​ the very late appearance of the subst. Aussatz, in contrast to the early OHG. ûȥsâzeo, ‘leper,’ there is no doubt that Aussatz is a recent formation, like Ärger from ärgern. The Goth. word for leprosy is þrutsfill.

​ August, m., formed, after being based anew on Lat. and Rom. augustus, from the equiv. MidHG. ougest, ougeste, OHG. augusto, agusto, m., ‘August’ (the genuine OGerm. term is Erntemonat, OHG. aran-mânôt). Comp. Fr. août, Ital. agosto. It was borrowed in OHG. at the same time as März and Mai.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Axt

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Axt | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Axt, f. (with a dental added as in Hüfte, Habicht, and Obst, &c.), from the equiv. MidHG. ackes (late MidHG. axt), f., OHG. acchus (plur. acchussi), f., ‘axe.’ It corresponds to OSax. accus, Du. aaks (from akes), AS. œx (from *œcces), E. ax, axe, OIc. öx, Goth. aqizi, f., ‘axe.’ The Teut. word is based upon Aryan agésî, or rather agzî (aksî); comp. the prim. cognate Gr. ἀξίνη, ‘axe,’ with which perhaps the equiv. Lat. ascia, in case it stands for ac-scia, is connected. Lat. acies, ‘sharpness,’ and Gr. ἀκή, ‘point,’ as well as Sans. açri, ‘edge’ (see Ähre, Ecke), are not allied to Axt.

Goth. augô, OIc. auga, AS. eáge, E. eye, Du. oog, OSax. ôga, ‘eye.’ While numerous terms for parts of the body (comp. Arm, Fuß, Herz, Kinn, Knie, Ohr, &c.) are common to Teut. with the other Aryan dialects, it has not yet been proved that there is any agreement with respect to Auge between Teut. and Lat., Gr., Ind., &c. Of course there is an undeniable similarity of sound between the Aryan base oq, ‘eye,’ and Lat. oculus, Gr. ὅσσε for *ὄκjε, ὀφθαλμός, ὦπα, &c., Sans. akši, OSlov. oko, Lith. akí-s, ‘eye.’ —

​ renken, vb., ‘to twist, wrench,’ from MidHG. ręnken, OHG. ręnchen, ‘to turn this way and that,’ for an earlier *wrankjan (from the stem rank, ‘to dislocate,’ are derived the Rom. cognates, Ital. ranco, ‘lame,’ rancare, ‘to halt’). AS. wręnč, ‘bend, artifice,’ AS. wręnčan, ‘to turn,’ E. wrench, subst. and vb. The corresponding vb. is ringen, Teut. wringan; the k of renken (probably for kk) compared with the g of ringen resembles the variation in bücken and biegen, lecken and Goth. bilaigôn, &c.

​ reichen, vb., ‘to reach, extend, suffice,’ from MidHG. ‘to arrive at, attain, proffer. suffice, extend,’ OHG. reihhen, ‘to proffer, extend’; corresponding to AS. rœ̂čan (from *raikjan), and the equiv. E. to reach. Its connection with Goth. rakjan, ‘to reach,’ rahtôn, ‘to proffer,’ is not probable, for phonetic reasons; and on account of its meaning, the word can scarcely be related to the cognates of *rîk, ‘ruler,’ mentioned under Reich.

​ reißen, vb., ‘to tear, drag; sketch,’ from MidHG. rîȥen, OHG. rîȥan, earlier *wrîȥan, ‘to tear, tear in pieces, scratch, write’; corresponding to OSax. wrftan, ‘to tear in pieces, wound, write,’ AS. wrîtan, E. to write, OIc. ríta, ‘to write’; Goth. *wreitan, ‘to rend, write,’ is wanting, but is implied by Goth. writs, ‘streak, point.’ The various meanings of the cognates are explained by the manner in which runes were written or scratched on beech twigs. The Teut. root writ, which has been preserved also in ModHG. Riß, Ritz, ritzen, and reizen, has not yet been found in the non-Teut. languages.

​ reiten, vb., ‘to ride,’ from MidHG. rîten, OHG. rîtan, ‘to move on, set out, drive, ride’; corresponding to Du. rijden, ‘to ride, drive, skate,’ AS. rîdan, E. to ride, OIc. ríða, ‘to ride, travel; swing, hover.’ These words are based on the common Teut. rîdan, with the general sense of continued motion. This, as well as the fact that in Teut. there is no vb. used exclusively for ‘to ride,’ makes it probable that the art of riding is comparatively recent. Besides, in the allied languages no single term expresses this idea. It is also known that the art among the Greeks appears after the time of Homer, and that it was still unknown to the Indians of the Rig-Veda. It is true that the Teutons are known to us as horsemen from their earliest appearance in history, but the ​evolution of the word reiten (comp. Lat. equo vehi) proves that the art is of recent origin. The Teut. verbal stem rī̆d, for pre-Teut. rī̆dh, reidh, corresponds to OIr. ríad, ‘driving, riding’ (ríadaim, ‘I drive’), OGall. rêda, ‘waggon’ (comp. Gr. ἔ-ριθος, ‘messenger, servant’?). The general meaning is seen also in AS. râd, f., ‘journey, expedition,’ E. road, as well as in the cognates under bereit.

​ rein, adj. ‘pure, clean, downright,’ from the equiv. MidHG. reine, OHG. reini, older hreini, adj.; corresponding to Goth. hrains, OIc. hreinn, OSax. hrêni, North Fris. rian, ‘pure’; in Du. and E., correspondences are wanting. The ModHG. sense (for which in Bav. and Swiss sauber is mostly used) is not found in the dials.; e.g., in Rhen.-Franc. and Swiss it signifies only ‘fine ground, sifted’ (of flour, sand, &c.), and belongs therefore to the Teut. root hrī̆, pre-Teut. krī̆, krei, ‘to winnow, sift,’ whence OHG. rîtara (see Reiter), Lat. cri-brum, Gr. κρί-νειν (for the adj. suffix -ni- see klein and schön). Hence ‘sifted’ may be assumed as the orig. sense of rein; comp. OLG. hrêncurni, ‘wheat.’
