| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Quark | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Quark, m., ‘curds, filth,’ from late MidHG. twarc (g), quarc (zwarc), ‘whey cheese,’ which is usually connected with MidHG. twërn, ‘to turn, stir, mix.’ It is more probably related to the equiv. Slav. cognates; comp. Russ. tvarogŭ, Pol. tvarog. Since Quark first appears in late MidHG., and is unknown to the other Teut. languages, it may be assumed that it was borrowed from Slav. Comp. Quirl.

​ Tanne, f., ‘fir tree,’ from the equiv. MidHG. tanne, f., OHG. tanna, signifies ‘fir tree, oak,’ hence the primary idea of the word is usually ‘forest tree’ (see Eiche, Buche). This is supported by ModHG. Tann, m., from MidHG. tan (nn), m. and n., ‘forest’' (OHG. tan-ęsil, ‘wild ass’), which seems to be based on a collective signification of Tanne. The early history of the HG. cognates (to which ODu. dęnnia, Du. den, ‘fir tree,’ is allied) is uncertain. Its connection with Gr. θάμνος, ‘thicket,’ is dubious.

​ Takel, n., ‘tackle,’ ModHG. only, adopted, like many nautical terms, from LG.; comp. the equiv. Du. takel, E. tackle, Dan. takkel, Swed. takel. The literal meaning of this, which is peculiar to maritime dialects, was ‘implements (in general),’ which leads to kinship with Goth. taujan, ‘to make’ (comp. tooijen, ‘to adorn,’ E. tool).

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Tag

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tag | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tag, m., ‘day, daylight,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. tac (g), m.; common to Teut. in the form dago-; comp. Goth. dags, OIc. dagr, AS. dœg, E. day (also to dawn), Du. and OSax. dag. This specifically Teut. word represents the stem, almost obsolete in Teut., of the equiv. Lat. dies, Sans. dina, OSlov. dī̆nī̆ (Goth. sin-teins, ‘daily,’ see Sündflut). To explain Teut. dago- (to which AS. dôgor, OIc. dœ́gr, from dôgoz, dôgiz, are allied), it has been connected with the Sans. root dah (for Aryan dhē̆gh, dhō̆gh?), ‘to burn’; this appears further in Lith. dègti, ‘to burn,’ dágas, dagà, ‘harvest’ (also in Sans. áhar, n., ‘day’?). Hence the base dhógho-s, common to G. Tag and Lith. dágas, means perhaps ‘the hot period of the day or year’ (comp. Ostern as a proof that names for periods of the day and year may be identical). Tag in G. denoted originally only the light period of the day; the day of twenty-four hours was called Nacht. —

​ Talg, m., ‘tallow,’ ModHG. only, from LG. (talg), hence unknown to Swab. and Bav.; allied to Du. talk, AS. *tealg, E. tallow, OIc. tolgr. Teut. talgo- (tolgo-) cannot be traced farther back; yet note AS. tœlg, ‘colour’ (see Seife). It is scarcely connected with Goth. tulgus, ‘firm’ (Talg, lit. ‘that which has become solid’?). The proper HG. (UpG.) word is Unschlitt.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Tanz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tanz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tanz, m., ‘dance, ball,’ from the equiv. MidHG. tanz, m., to which MidHG. and ModHG. tanzen is allied. The word was first adopted in the 11th cent. In OHG. the verbs were salzôn (which, like AS. sealtian, was borrowed at an early period from Lat. saltâre), and the genuine Teut. tûmôn and leihhan (comp. Leich). The late appearance of MidHG. tanzen tends to show that it is a loan-word; it is based on the equiv. Romance cognates, Ital. danzare (Fr. danser, whence E. to dance, and Du. dansen). It is true that, considering the late period at which it was borrowed, the HG. t compared to Ital. d is abnormal. The Romance cognates are themselves of Teut. origin, which has been sought in OHG. dansôn, ‘to draw’ (allied to Goth. þinsan; see gedunsen).

​ fehlen, vb., ‘to miss, want, err,’ from MidHG. vêlen, vœlen, ‘to fail, mistake, cheat, be wanting, miss’; borrowed in the MidHG. period (about 1200 A.D.) from Fr. faillir, ‘to fail, miss, deceive,’ which again, like Ital. fallire, is derived from Lat. fallere. The word was also adopted by E. in the 13th cent.; comp. E. fail, likewise Du. feilen, ‘to fail, miss, deceive,’ Scand. (since the 14th cent.), feila.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/faul

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/faul | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ faul, adj., ‘rotten, worthless, lazy,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and MidLG. vûl, OHG. fûl; comp. Du. vuil, AS. fûl, E. foul, OIc. fúll, Goth. fûls, ‘decayed’; la- is derivative; fû- as the Teut. root is deduced from OIc. fúenn, ‘putrefied,’ which as a partic. points to an obsolete verb (Goth. *fauan, formed like bauan), of which OIc. feyja, ‘to allow to putrefy,’ is the factitive (Goth. *faujan). From fū̆ several Teut. dialects have formed nouns with the meaning ‘cunnus’ (OIc. fuþ); see Hundsfott. The root fū̆, from Aryan pū̆, is equally represented in the allied languages; Gr. πύον, ‘matter,’ and the equiv. Lat. pûs, n.; Sans. and Zend root pû (pûy), ‘to stink, putrefy,’ Lith. pûvù, půti, ‘to putrefy’ (akin to Lith. púlei, ‘matter,’ with a derivative l as in faul); also Gr. πύθω, ‘to cause to rot,’ Lat. pûteo, ‘to stink,’ pŭter, ‘putrid, rotten.’ The primary meaning of the root pŭ is ‘to emit a smell of putrefaction.’ —

​ feiern, ‘to celebrate,’ from MidHG. vîren, OHG. fîrrôn, fîrôn, ‘to celebrate, keep a festival,’ formed from Lat. feriari. The borrowed word is found in the Teut. languages of Middle Europe (Du. vierdag, OFris. fîra), but is wanting in E. and Scand. The Romance languages preserve Lat. feriae in the sense of ‘fair’; comp. Ital. fiera, Fr. foire (hence E. fair). Comp. Messe and Fest. —

​ fassen, vb., ‘to hold, grasp, comprehend,’ (refl.) ‘to make up one's mind,’ from MidHG. vaȥȥen, OHG. faȥȥôn, ‘to handle, seize, load, pack, arm oneself, dress, go’; it seems to be a combination of two or more really different roots. Comp. OIc. fǫt, neu. plur., ‘garments’ (Goth. *fata, ‘garments,’ may be deduced from Span. hato, Port. fato, ‘stock of clothes, wardrobe’); the West Teut. fat (see Faß), has not this meaning, but MidHG. (OHG.) vaȥȥen, ‘to dress oneself, points that way. In the sense ‘to seize,’ the word may be connected with Faß, lit. ‘engulphing,’ from which the meaning ‘to load’ would be evolved. In the sense of ‘to go’ (sich vaȥȥen, MidHG.) it must probably be connected with Fuß, or more closely with AS. fœt, ‘step.’ See Fetzen, Fitze.

​ fasten, vb., ‘to fast,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vasten, OHG. fastên; comp. Goth. fastan, OIc. fasta, AS. fœstan, E. to fast, Du. vasten; a common Teut. verb, invariably used in the sense of ‘to fast,’ which, therefore, was probably a religions conception even of the heathen Teutons. The corresponding abstract is Goth. fastubni, AS. fœsten, OSax. fastunnia, OHG. fasta, fasto, m., MidHG. vaste, f., vasten, n., ‘fast,’ whence Slav. postŭ, ‘fast, was borrowed at an early period. The cognates are probably connected with fest in the sense of ‘to contain oneself, exercise restraint in eating and drinking,’ or ‘to obey a religious precept’; comp. Goth. fastan, ‘to adhere to, hold, observe.’ —

​ fegen, vb., ‘to sweep, scour, winnow (corn), purge,’ from MidHG. vëgen (OHG. *fegôn), ‘to purify, adorn, sweep, scour,’ Du. vegen. Goth. *figôn is connected with Goth. fagrs, ‘suitable,’ AS. fœ̂ger, E. fair, OHG. and OSax. fagar; from the root feh, fah, fag, fôg in fügen; OIc. fœgja, ‘to cleanse,’ probably belongs to the same root (the Goth. form being fégjan); Aryan root, pē̆k, pō̆k?.

​ faseln, vb., ‘to talk irrationally,’ only in ModHG., a derivative of OHG. fasôn, ‘to track, seek here and there’; but the latter word is probably not from the root fas in Faser.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/fechten

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/fechten | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ fechten, vb., ‘to fight, fence,’ from the equiv. MidHG. vëhten, OHG. fëhtan; a term common to West Teut. for ‘to fight, contend,’ unknown to Scand. and Goth.; comp. Du. and MidHG. vechten, OFris. fluchta, AS. feohtan, E. to fight. Whether the verb has always belonged to the e class is questionable; it may have passed from the pret. plur. and partic. of the u class into the e class; in that case, we should have to assume Goth. *fiuhtan, *fáuht, *faúhtum, *faúhtans, instead of *faíhtan, *faht, *faúhtam, *faúhtans. This conceivable assumption facilitates the connection with Lat. pugna, pugnare; yet the latter are probably only derivatives of pugnus, ‘fist’; perhaps the inferred Goth. *fiuhtan, ‘to fight,’ is similarly related to Faust.

​ fast, adv., ‘almost, nearly,’ from MidHG. vaste, vast, adv.

ModHG. has also turned fest into an adv., the older adv. fast having been specialised in meaning; even in MidHG. vęste is an adv.
# Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume VII/Lactantius/The Divine Institutes/Book III/Chap. XXVI

Chap. XXVI.—It is Divine Instruction Only Which Bestows Wisdom; And of What Efficacy the Law of God is.
That, therefore, which they perceived to be justly required by the demands of nature, but which they were themselves unable to perform, and saw that the philosophers could not effect, is accomplished only by divine instruction; for that only is wisdom. Doubtless they were able to persuade any one who do not even persuade themselves of anything; or they will crush the desires, moderate the anger, and restrain the lusts of any one, when they themselves both yield to vices, and acknowledge that they are overpowered by nature. But what influence is exerted on the souls of men by the precepts of God, because of their simplicity and truth, is shown by daily proofs. Give me a man who is passionate, scurrilous, and unrestrained; with a very few words of God,
“I will render him as gentle as a sheep.”
Give me one who is grasping, covetous, and tenacious; I will presently restore him to you liberal, and freely bestowing his money with full hands. Give me a man who is afraid of pain and death; he shall presently despise crosses, and fires, and the bull of Phalaris. Give me one who is lustful, an adulterer, a glutton; you shall presently see him sober, chaste, and temperate. Give me one who is cruel and bloodthirsty: that fury shall presently be changed into true clemency. Give me a man who is unjust, foolish, an evil-doer; forthwith he shall be just, and wise, and innocent: for by one laver all his wickedness shall be taken away. So great is the power of divine wisdom, that, when infused into the breast of man, by one impulse it once for all expels folly, which is the mother of faults, for the effecting of which there is no need of payment, or books, or nightly studies. These results are accomplished gratuitously, easily, and quickly, if only the ears are open and the breast thirsts for wisdom. Let no one fear: we do not sell water, nor offer the sun for a reward. The fountain of God, most abundant and most full, is open to all; and this heavenly light rises for all, as many as have eyes. Did any of the philosophers effect these things, or is he able to effect them if he wishes? For though they spend their lives in the study of philosophy, they are neither able to improve any other person nor themselves (if nature has presented any obstacle). Therefore their wisdom, doing its utmost, does not eradicate, but hide vices. But a few precepts of God so entirely change the whole man, and having put off the old man, render him new, that you would not recognise him as the same.
