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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry grapsen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ grapsen, verb, ‘to grasp, snatch,’ simply Modern High German; probably allied primitively to Modern High German Garbe, and English to grab, to grasp, Sanscrit gṛbh, ‘to seize,’ Lithuanian grópti, ‘to snatch, grasp.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/greifen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry greifen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ greifen, verb, ‘to grasp, seize,’ from the equivalent Middle High German grîfen, Old High German grîfan, strong verb; corresponding to Old Saxon grîpan, Dutch grijpen, Anglo-Saxon grîpan, English to gripe, Gothic greipan, ‘to seize, lay hold of’; a common Teutonic verb, whence French gripper, ‘to clutch,’ and griffe, ‘claw.’ In the non-Teutonic languages there exists an allied Aryan root ghrī̆b, in Lithuanian greibiu, greibti, ‘to seize,’ and Lettic griba, ‘will,’ gribêt, ‘to wish.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/greinen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry greinen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ greinen, verb, ‘to whine, grin,’ from the equivalent Middle High German grînen, Old High German grînan, strong verb, ‘to distort the mouth with laughing or crying, grumble, snarl,’ allied to ​Middle High German grinnen, ‘to gnash,’ English to grin, to groan, (Anglo-Saxon grânian), also grinsen; from the Old German cognates Italian digrignare, ‘to grin,’ is derived. The root grī̆, pre-Teutonic ghrī̆, is not found elsewhere (Sanscrit hrî, ‘to be ashamed’?).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/grinsen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry grinsen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ grinsen, verb, ‘to grin, show the teeth,’ with a derivative s from Middle High German grinnen, ‘to gnash.’ See greinen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/glühen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry glühen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ glühen, verb, ‘to glow,’ from the equivalent Middle High German glüen, glüejen, Old High German gluoen, weak verb; corresponding to Anglo-Saxon glôwan, English to glow, Dutch gloeijen, Old Icelandic glóa, ‘to glow.’ From the Teutonic root glô, glê, are also derived Modern High German Glut, Middle High German and Old High German gluot, feminine, to which Dutch gloed, Anglo-Saxon gléd (Gothic *glô-di-), English dialectic gleed correspond, likewise Anglo-Saxon glôma, glômung, ‘twilight,’ English gloom, Old Icelandic glámr, ‘moon.’ With the Teutonic root gló, glê (from pre-Teutonic ghlū̆), Lithuanian zlejà, ‘twilight,’ is also connected.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/grau

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry grau. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ grau, adjective, ‘grey,’ from the equivalent Middle High German grâ (genitive grâwes), Old High German grâo (genitive grâwes); corresponding to Dutch graauw, Anglo-Saxon grœ̂g, English grey, gray, Old Icelandic grár, ‘grey.’ Its origin and further relations cannot be traced; Aryan ghrêw?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/grell

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry grell. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ grell, adjective, ‘shrill, glaring, dazzling,’ from Middle High German grël(ll), ‘rough, angry,’ allied to Middle High German grëllen, ‘to cry aloud, angrily’; wanting in Old High German; compare'AS. griellan, ‘to gnash, sound harshly.’ The root and further cognates are unknown; akin to Grille?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Arsch

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Arsch | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Arsch, m., ‘arse, fundament,’ according to the analogous cases cited under birschen, from an older Ars, MidHG. and OHG. ars, m., ‘arse.’ It corresponds to the equiv. MidLG. ars, ers, Du. aars, naars (with prefixed n), AS. ears, E. arse, OIc. ars (and rass, comp. argr and ragr, see arg), m., ‘arse.’ Teut. arsa-z, m., from órso-s, is rightly held to be primit. allied to Gr. δῥῥος (ρρ for rs), ‘coccyx, rump’; akin to OIr. err, f., ‘tail, end, point’?. Comp. the remark under Arm.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Arzenei

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Arzenei | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Arzenei, f. (in the 17th cent. accented on the A also), ‘medicine,’ from MidHG. arzenîe (erzonîe), f., ‘art of healing, remedy.’ The OHG. word does not occur, but only a derivative OHG. erzinen, giarzinôn, MidHG. erzenen, ‘to heal;’ the verb, by its suffix, suggests Goth. lêkinôn, AS. lœ̂cnian, OHG. lâhhinôn, ‘to heal.’ From OHG. gi-arzinôn, the MidHG. substant. arzenîe, which did not appear until a later period, might then have been formed with a Rom. termination. The assumption that MidHG. arzenîe referred to Archigenes of Apamea (in Syria), a famous physician, is untenable; if this assumption were correct, we should have expected OHG. *arzin, or rather *arzino, ‘physician,’ which, however, nowhere to be found. Besides, OHG. arzinôn formed into arzât, ‘physician,’ under the influence of the genuinely Teut. and Goth. lêkinôn, OHG. lâhhinôn, ‘to heal,’ makes any reference to Archigenes quite superfluous. Moreover, MidHG. has also a form arzatîe (MidDu. arsedîe), ‘medicine.’ See Arzt.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Asche

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Asche | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Asche (1.), f., ‘ashes, cinders,’ from MidHG. asche (esche), OHG. asca, f., ‘ashes’; corresponds to Du. asch, AS. asce, œsce, f., E. ashes (but also sing. in bone-ash, potash, &c.); OIc. aska, f., ‘ashes’; akin also to the abnormal Goth. azgô, f., ‘ashes’ (but Span. ascua is borrowed). Trustworthy correspondences in other languages are wanting, nor is Esche allied to it. —
​ Asche (2.), f., ‘grayling,’ from the equiv. MidHG. asche, OHG. asco, m.; scarcely allied to Asche, as if the fish were named from its ash-grey colour; Ital. lasco.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Art

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Art | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Art, f., ‘kind, sort, species, manner,’ from MidHG. art, m., f., ‘innate peculiarity, nature, condition, kind’; OHG. art, is not recorded with these meanings, nor is the word found elsewhere. Instead of this there occurs the homonymous OHG. art, f., ‘tillage, ploughing,’ with which artôn, ‘to inhabit, cultivate,’ is connected; further, OSax. ard, m., ‘dwelling-place,’ AS. eard, m., ‘dwelling, native place,’ OIc. ǫrð), f., ‘harvest, produce.’ These cognates, which belong (see Acker) to an OTeut. and Aryan root, ar, ‘to plough’ (Lat. arare, Gr. ἀρόω, &c.), are scarcely allied to MidHG. art, m., f., ‘nature, condition’; comp., however, Wohnung from gewöhnen. It is more probable that Art is connected with Lat. ars (gen. plur. arti-um), ‘method, art,’ and Sans. ṛtá, ‘method.’ The compounds Artacker, artbar, arthaft contain MidHG. and OHG. art, ‘agriculture, tillage,’ and belong consequently to the Teut. and Aryan root ar, ‘to plough.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Arzt

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Arzt | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Arzt, m., ‘physician,’ from the equiv. MidHG. arzet, arzât, OHG. arzăt, m., a specifically Germ. word, unknown to Eng., Scand. and Goth. Its early appearance in OHG., in which OTeut. lâhhi was the more prevalent form, is remarkable (comp. Goth. lêkeis, ‘physician,’ AS. lœ̂ce, E. leech; also the ModHG. proper name Lachner, from MidHG. lâchenœre, ‘enchanter,’ lit. ‘physician’). The MidDu. form arsatre, OLG. ercetere, ‘physician’ (MidLG. arste), proves the origin from the oft-recurring Franc. and MidLat. archiater (άρχιατρός), ‘physician’ (espec. physician-in-ordinary to the king). There are no phonetic difficulties in ​connecting OHG. arzât with arzâter, arciâter, archiâter, since the OLG. and MidDu. form itself points to the MidLat. form. Moreover, the technical terms of Greek physic found their way at an early period to the West (comp. Büchse, Pflaster), but always through the medium of Lat. and Rom. The unique arzâte(r) was entirely unknown to Rom. (Ital. medico, OFr. mirc, Fr. médecin, which of course were also unknown to Teut.). Concerning arz-, erz-, as the representative of Gr. άρχι-, see Erz-. The theory advanced on account of ModHG. Mühlarzt, ‘mill-wright,’ that OHG. arzât is from Lat. artista, is on phonetic and historical grounds unwarranted. MidLat. artista was not used for medical practitioners until late in the Middle Ages (comp. ModFr. artiste vétérinaire); the word too is unknown in earlier Rom. On the other hand, we meet with archiatri even as far back as the Frank. king Childebert and Charlemagne. See besides Arzenei.

​ As, n., Aß, ModHG. only, from the equiv. Fr. as, m., ‘the ace (of dice or cards), a small weight’ (Lat. as). In MidHG. the prevalent term for the ‘ace (of dice)’ was esse, which comes from Lat. assis (a later collateral form of as). Comp. Daus.

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry dringen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ dringen, verb, ‘to press, crowd, pierce,’ from Middle High German dringen, Old High German dringan, ‘to compress, throng, press on,’ then also ‘to plait, weave’ (Middle High German drîhe, ‘embroidering needle’); compare Gothic þreihan (eih from inh), ‘to throng, oppress, cram; afflict.’ The Teutonic root is þrinhw, þrung; compare also with Old High German dringan, Old Saxon thringan, Anglo-Saxon þringan, ‘to press,’ Old Icelandic Þryngva. The h was retained by Middle High German drîhe, feminine, ‘embroidering needle,’ whence Middle High German drîhen, ‘to embroider.’ — With the general meaning ‘to press’ are connected Modern High German Drang, drängen, Gedränge (Old High German gidręngi), Gothic þraihns, ‘crowd’ (in faihuþraihns, ‘wealth’); English throng. With the Teutonic cognates Lithuanian trėnkti, ‘to shake, push,’ trànksmas, ‘din, tumult,’ Lettic treckt, ‘to shatter,’ are primitively allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/drall

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry drall. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ drall, adjective, ‘tight, twisted, stalwart, active,’ simply Modern High German, akin to Middle High German drël, Old Icelandic þearle, adverb, ‘firmly, strongly, very’; from drillen?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/drehen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry drehen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ drehen, verb, ‘to turn, whirl, wind,’ from Middle High German drœjen, drœn, ‘to turn, turn round,’ Old High German drâjan. The Gothic form may have been þ aian (compare wehen, Gothic waian; säen, Gothic saian); compare Dutch draaijen, ‘to turn (on a lathe)’; Anglo-Saxon þrâwan (compare sâwan, wâwan), and Middle English þrâwen, ‘to turn,’ are strong verbs, while the Modern High German verb is weak even in Old High German. The assumed Gothic form *þraian, ‘to turn,’ was undoubtedly conjugated strong (preterite *þaíþrô). þrê is the verbal stem common to Teutonic, from which a substantive, Draht, meaning ‘twisted thread,’ was formed by adding a dental suffix. This substantive proves most clearly that the root of drehen did not end in a guttural, and that therefore Modern High German Drechsler, from Old High German drâhsil, cannot be allied to drehen. In Modern English, to throw (‘to turn’), is obsolete. The root þrê is from pre-Teutonic trê, ter; this appears in Greek, with the meaning ‘to bore,’ in numerous derivatives. ‘To bore’ is a specialisation of the meaning ‘to turn,’ πολύτρητος, ‘porous,’ τρῆμα, ‘hole,’ συντρῆσαι, τετραίνω, ‘to bore through,’ τερέω, ‘to bore, turn on a lathe’ (compare Middle High German drœjen, ‘to turn on a lathe’), τόρνος, ‘turner's chisel,’ τέρετρον, Latin terebra, ‘borer.’ Compare also Darm.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/drillen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry drillen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ drillen, verb, ‘to revolve, bore, drill,’ from Middle High German drillen, ‘to turn, make round’ (with the participle gedrollen, ‘round’). The meaning ‘to bore’ comes from Low German drillen (see drehen, drechseln, for the connecting link between the meanings), akin to Dutch drillen, English to thrill, and also Low German drall (Middle Dutch drel), ‘round, turning,’ which is formed by gradation. The ​nates point to a Teutonic root þrel, ‘to turn on a lathe). — drillen, ‘to plague’ or ‘to drill (recruits),’ may be derived from the first or the second meaning.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/drechseln

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry drechseln. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ drechseln, verb, ‘to turn (on a lathe),’ derivative of Middle High German drëhsel, drœhsel, ‘turner,’ in Gothic *þrêhsils; drehen (root þré, tré) cannot be closely allied to drechseln; it must rather be connected with a root containing a guttural, þrêhs- or þrêh. Greek τρέπομαι (with π for k), and Latin torqueo (Greek ἄπρακτος, ‘spindle,’ Latin torcular, ‘oil-press’), point to a root trek, ‘to turn.’ The Old High German drâhsil, ‘turner,’ is probably the only remains of this root in Teutonic; in Middle High German and also in Upper German and Low German dialects drehen (Middle High German drœjen, drœn) signifies ‘to turn (on a lathe).’ See drehen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/drei

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry drei. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ drei, numeral, ‘three,’ from Middle High German and Old High German drî, which is properly simply the nominative masculine; the rest of the old cases are obsolete in Modern High German; Anglo-Saxon þrî, þreó, English three, Gothic þreis, from *þrijis. It corresponds to Aryan trejes, equivalent to Sanscrit tráyas, Greek τρεῖς, from τρέγες, Latin três, Old Slovenian trĭje. Drei, like the other units, is a primitively word. See Drillich, Dritte.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/dreist

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry dreist. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ dreist, adjective, ‘bold, audacious, self-confident,’ simply Modern High German, from the equivalent Low German drîste (hence dreist is not found in the Upper German dialects); compare Old Saxon thrîsti, Dutch driest, Anglo-Saxon þrîste, ‘bold, daring.’ The similarity in the initial sound with Latin tristis, ‘sad,’ is perhaps of no etymological value; as, however, a similar change of meaning is met with in the cognates of Modern High German tapfer, Latin tristis and Old Saxon thrîsti may perhaps be derived from a common root. Otherwise it might well be connected with dringen, Old Saxon thrîsti, for thrîhsti, from þrinh-sti?.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/dreschen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry dreschen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ dreschen, verb, ‘to thresh,’ from the equivalent Middle High German drëschen, Old High German drëskan; corresponds to Dutch dorschen, Anglo-Saxon þërscan (for þrescan), English to thrash, thresh (compare Middle High German dreschen, which also means ‘to torment’); Gothic þriskan. Threshing was practised in primitively Teutonic times, as this common term testifies. The Teutons, even before they became settlers, and hence while they were still migrating, were acquainted with the most elementary methods of agriculture; compare the various kinds of corn, and also Pflug, Egge, Brot, &c. The Teutonic cognates found their way into Romance , — Italian trescare, ‘to trample, move the feet about, dance,’ Old French tresche, ‘chain-dance’ From these the Old Teutonic method of threshing may be easily inferred. The flail (Dreschflegel) came from Italy through the medium of Romance (see Flegel); for this a simpler term is found in Old High German driscil, Middle High German and Modern High German drischel. The meaning of the Teutonic base tresk is probably ‘to stamp noisily, tread’; compare Lithuanian trasketi, ‘to rattle, clatter,’ Old Slovenian trěskŭ, ‘crack,’ troska, ‘thunderclap.’ English threshold is mostly connected with dreschen, Old Teutonic þrëskan, regarding it as the threshing-staff, or as the place at the entrance to the house where corn was threshed.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Habicht

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Habicht | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Habicht, m. (with a dental suffix as in Hüste and Mond, &c.), ‘hawk,’ from the equiv. MidHG. habich, habech (also hebech, modified), m., OHG. habuh, m.; a common Teut. term by chance not recorded in Goth.; comp. OSax. *haƀoc (in the proper names Haƀuchorst, Haƀocasbrôc), Du. havik, AS. heafoc, E. hawk, OIc. haukr (for *hǫƀukr). The Goth. form would be *habaks, with a suffix aks-, as in ahaks, ‘pigeon’ (comp. also Kranich, Lerche); comp. the consonantal suffix in Gr. ὀρτυγ-, ‘quail.’ Against the derivation from the stem hab, haf, in heben, orig., ‘to take firm hold of, lay hold of’ there is nothing to object from the Teut. point of view; Italic capus, ‘hawk,’ is certainly derived from the root kap (capio). The Kelt. cognates, W. hebauc, OIr. sebocc, ‘falcon,’ are undoubtedly borrowed from Teut. Comp. also Falke.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Hach

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Hach | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Hach, m., ‘fellow,’ from MidHG. hache, ​m., ‘fellow, churl’; allied to MidHG. hę̂chel, f., ‘artful woman, match-maker.’ The derivation is not clear, since cognate terms in OTeut. are wanting.

​ Hacke, f., ‘heel,’ prop. a MidG. and LG. word (in UpG. Ferse); comp. Du. hak; not recorded in MidHG., but it occurs once in the transition period from OHG. to MidHG. (hachun, ‘heels’); usually derived from hacken. On account of its meaning, it is more probably related to Du. hiel, AS. hôh, ‘heel,’ hêla, f. (for *hôhila), E. heel, and the equiv. Scand. hœ̂ll, m.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Haff

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Haff | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Haff, n., ‘inland sea, gulf,’ a LG. word, orig. ‘sea’ (generally), which is also the meaning of AS. hœf (plur. heafu), n., Scand. haf, n., MidLG. haf; the UpG. words, MidHG. hap, habes, n., and habe, f., which correspond in sound, also signify ‘sea,’ as well as ‘port’ (see Hafen). As we need not assume an orig. difference between the words for ‘harbour’ and ‘sea,’ and since in any case the meaning ‘harbour’ is derived from the signification ‘sea’ — the converse would be hardly possible — the usual assumption mentioned under Hafen (2.), that Hafen is lit. ‘receptacle,’ is quite problematical. Hence Hafen may probably be explained by some such word as ‘marina,’ in the sense of ‘statio marina.’ The connection of AS. hœf, ‘sea,’ as ‘heaving,’ in ​the sense of Lat. altum (‘high sea’), with heben (root haf, pre-Teut. kap), is not impossible, though scarcely probable.
