| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Brink | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Brink, m., ‘grassy hillock, green sward,’ from LG. brink, comp. OIc. brekka (from *brinkô), f., both meaning ‘hill’; akin to E. brink, and OIc. bringa, ‘mead.’

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Brodem | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Brodem, m., ‘fume, exhalation,’ from MidHG. brā̆dem, m., ‘vapour,’ OHG. brâdam, ‘vapour, breath, heat.’ AS. brœ̂þ, ‘vapour, breath, wind,’ E. breath, are perhaps cognate, so too ModHG. braten?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Brett

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Brett | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Brett, n., ‘board, plank, shelf, counter,’ from the equiv. MidHG. brët, OHG. brët, n.; corresponds to AS. brëd, n,; Goth. *brid, n. It has been shown under Bort, ‘board,’ that the OTeut. word for Brett had two stems, primarily identical and separated only by gradation, viz., bredo- and bordo-, whose connection might be represented thus: Ind. bradhas is related to bṛdhas, as Aryan bhrédhos is to bhṛdhós, n.; MidHG. brët combines the meanings ‘board, shield,’ &c., like AS. bord; see also Korb.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Bretzel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Bretzel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Bretzel, m., f., ‘cracknell,’ from the equiv. MidHG. brezel, also breze, OHG. brezitella and brezita (bergita); allied to Bav. die bretzen, Suab. brätzg, brätzet, Alsat. brestell. The Suab. form as well as OHG. brizzilla presupposes a Teut. ë; but the vowel sounds of the remaining forms are uncertain. It is most frequently referred to MidLat. brâcéllum (whence brăzil, and by mutation brĕzil’), or rather brâchiólum, ‘little arm’ (the different kinds of pastry are named from their shape; comp. e.g. MidHG. krâpfe, ‘hook, hook-shaped pastry’); MidHG. brœzte would be brâchitum. From OHG. brézitella the ModHG. Bretstelle (Strassb.) was produced, while breztella was resolved by a wrong division of syllables into Bret-s-telle; thus we deduce In ModHG. Tapfe from Fußtapfe, i.e. Fuß-stapfe. The absence of the word in Rom. (yet comp. Ital. bracciatello) seems to militate against the derivation of the whole of this class from Lat. bracchium. In that case OHG. bergita, brezita, might perhaps be connected with AS. byrgan, ‘to eat,’ OIr. bargen, ‘cake.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Messe

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Messe. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Messe, feminine, ‘mass, fair,’ from Middle High German mësse, misse, feminine, ‘mass, church festival, fair’ Old High German mëssa, missa, feminine. So too the word on which it is based, Middle Latin missa, signifies not only ‘incruentum christianorum sacrificium,’ but also ‘feast of a saint’ (“quod in eo Missa sollemnis peragitur”). The latter sense led to Middle Latin missa, Middle High German mësse, ‘fair,’ because this “was wont to be held on account of the great concourse of people” on saints' days (compare French foire, ‘fair,’ literally ‘holiday,’ under Feier). Middle Latin missa, “as is well known, originated in missa est, scil. concio, the words spoken by the deacon when dismissing the congregation which did not partake of the sacrament”; from this the corresponding Romance cognates, Italian messa and French messe, are derived. The vowel in Anglo-Saxon mœsse, feminine (Northumbrian messe), English mass, is abnormal; the latter also signifies feast in Christmas and Lammas (see Laib). Compare Feier, Mette, Nonne, Opfer, and Vesper.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Messer

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Messer. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Messer, neuter, from the equivalent Middle High German męȥȥer, ‘knife.’ The word has undergone strange transformations; it is an abbreviation of męȥȥeres, Old High German męȥȥiras, męȥȥirahs, neuter, the etymology of which had grown obscure; the variants maȥ-sahs, męȥȥi-sahs, show, however, that męȥȥirahs is a compound meaning ‘food-sword.’ With regard to Gothic mats, neuter, Old High German maȥ, neuter, Anglo-Saxon męte, masculine, English meat, compare Mus and Mettwurst. Old High German sahs, Anglo-Saxon seax, neuter, ‘sword, knife,’ whence the name Saxons, is usually connected with Latin saxum, because knives were originally made of stone. The Old High German compound męȥȥi-rahs shows the change of medial s (z) to r. Gothic *matisahs is also indicated by Old Saxon męzas for *mętsahs, Dutch and Low German mes, Anglo-Saxon męte-seax, ‘food-knife, dagger.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mesner

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Mesner. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mesner, masculine, from the equivalent Middle High German męsnœre, męssenœre, masculine, ‘sexton, sacristan’ (the latter connected with Messe), from late Old High German męsinâri (not messinâri), masculine, based on Middle Latin *masinarius for mansionarius, ‘custos et conservatoraedis sacrae, aedituus, ostarius’; Middle Latin mansionarius was also an official in the court of the Frankish kings (Middle Latin mansio, ‘house,’ equivalent to French maison). Compare Küster and Sigrist.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Menge

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Menge. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Menge, feminine, ‘crowd, multitude, mass,’ from Middle High German męnege, Old High German męnigî, managî, feminine, ‘multiplicity, great number, crowd’; an abstract from Old High German manag, ‘much’; Gothic managei, feminine, Anglo-Saxon męnigo, ‘multiplicity.’ Originally it was not connected with the following word, but in modern times it may be dimly thought to be akin to it.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Melde

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Melde. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Melde (Bavarian molten), feminine, ‘orache’ (a plant), from the equivalent Middle High German and Middle Low German mëlde, and with a different gradation mulde, molte, feminine, Old High German mola, mulda (muolhta is incorrectly written for molta), feminine; of ​obscure origin. The derivation from the root mal, ‘to grind,’ to which Mehl is allied, does not give a suitable sense. Greek βλίτον (for *μλίτον), ‘orache,’ should rather be compared with the German word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mennig

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Mennig. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mennig, neuter, ‘vermilion,’ from the equivalent Middle High German mênig, minig, late Old High German minig, n,; based on Latin minium, ‘vermilion.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mensch

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Mensch. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mensch, masculine and neuter, from the equivalent Middle High German męnsch, męnsche, masculine and neuter, ‘man, person, fellow,’ Old High German męnnisco, mannisco, masculine; compare Old Saxon męnnisco, Dutch mensch, ‘person.’ Simply a West Teutonic form, properly an adjective used as a substantive, hence ‘humanus’ for ‘homo.’ The adjective on which it is based is derived with the suffix iska (High German isch) from mann-, ‘homo’; Gothic mannisks, Old Icelandic mennskr, Anglo-Saxon, Old Saxon, and Old High German męnnisc, ‘humanus, human’ (compare further Anglo-Saxon męnnesc, ‘humanity’); compare manušýa as an adjective ‘human,’ and as masculine substantive ‘man,’ with Sanscrit mánu, mánus-, ‘man’ (see further under Mann). — Mensch in the neuter gender appears even in Middle High German, and was used till the 17th century without any contemptuous meaning; the neuter was generally applied to female servants, but that signification became obsolete in the last century, and a moral sense was attached to the word.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Meißel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Meißel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Meißel, masculine, ‘chisel,’ from Middle High German meiȥel, Old High German meiȥil, masculine, ‘chisel, tool for dressing and chipping’; allied to Old High German meiȥan, Middle High German meiȥen, ‘to hew, cut,’ Gothic maitan, ‘to hew, hew off’; thus too Old Icelandic meitell, masculine, ‘chisel,’ allied to meita, ‘to cut.’ All these belong to a Teutonic root mat, ‘to hew,’ which has been connected with the Teutonic root mat, ‘to hew,’ in Metze (Steinmetze). Compare also English mattock.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mergel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Mergel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mergel, masculine, ‘marl,’ from the equivalent Middle High German męrgel, Old High German męrgil, masculine; from Middle Latin margila, with the primary form marga, which is recorded by Pliny as a Keltic word; compare Breton marg, Welsh marl. From the same source the equivalent Romance words are derived — French marne (from Old French marle), Italian and Spanish marga.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Memme

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Memme. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Memme, feminine, ‘poltroon,’ Modern High German only. A derivative of late Middle High German mamme, memme, feminine, ‘woman's breast’; literally ‘effeminate being, effeminate man.’

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Laich

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Laich | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Laich, m., and n., ‘spawn,’ doubtlessly a prim. word, though first recorded in late MidHG.; corresponding to MidLG. lêk, Swed. lek, Dan. leeg. The Goth. form is perhaps *laik, and thus the connection of Laich with Teut.-Goth. laikan, ‘to leap,’ is conceivable. Dialectically Laich signifies ‘lusus venereus’ (comp. Leich).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Laie

​ Laib, m., ‘loaf,’ from MidHG. and OHG. leip (b), m. (early OHG. hleib), ‘bread.’ It is the earlier Teut. term for the modern Brot, which is unknown to Goth., and almost so to AS. Comp. Goth. hlaifs (gen. hlaibis), AS. hlâf, E. loaf; to these Goth. gahlaiba and OHG. gileibo, m., ‘companion,’ are allied; comp. Kumpan. E. lord, from AS. hlâford (Goth. *hlaibwards), ‘lord,’ lit. ‘bread guardian,’ as well as E. lady, from AS. hlœ̂fdige, ‘domina’ (lit. ‘bread distributor’), contains HG. Laib in the compound; comp. E. Lammas (Aug. 1), from AS. hlafmœsse, ‘bread-feast as a sort of harvest thanksgiving festival.’ These primit. compounds prove the great antiquity of Laib and the more recent origin of Brot. Slav. borrowed its chlěbŭ, ‘bread’ (whence Lith. klëpas, Lett. klaipas, ‘bread’), from an OTeut. dialect (the OTeut. word being also found in Finn. and Esthon. — Finn. leipä, Esthon. leip, ‘bread’).

​ Land, n., ‘land, country,’ from the equiv. MidHG. lant (d), OHG. lant (t), n.; a common Teut. word; comp. Goth. land, ‘district, estate, native country,’ OIc., AS., E., Du., and OSax. land, ‘country, land.’ To these are prim. allied Ir. land, lann, W. llan, Corn lan (from the primit. form *landhâ), ‘open space, area, small enclosure, yard,’ Bret. lan, ‘heath,’ as well as OSlov. lędina, ‘heath, uncultivated land’ (Russ. ljada, ljadina), with which Swed. dial. linda, ‘fallow field,’ agrees in the vowel sounds. Hence Land is native to the North of Europe, while Acker has a far wider diffusion. The Rom. cognates, Ital. landa and Fr. lande, ‘heath, plain,’ are derived from Kelt. rather than from Teut.
