# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Sperber

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sperber | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sperber, m., ‘sparrow-hawk,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spęrwœre, sparwœre, OHG. sparwâri, m. (comp. Du. sperwer). A derivative of the Teut. sparwa-, ‘sparrow’ (see Sperling); hence sparwâri is lit. ‘bird of prey that lives on sparrows’ (in MidHG. also sprinze, f., ‘female sparrow-hawk’). OHG. sparwā̆ri is a compound of aro, ‘eagle’; comp. OHG. mûs-ari, chranuh-ari, and AS. gôs-heafoc, mûs-heafoc, spear-heafoc (‘sparrow-hawk,’ like OHG. sparw-ari). OHG. aro, ‘eagle,’ may appear as ari in the second part of a compound. From Teut. are derived the Rom. terms, Ital. sparaviere, Fr. épervier.

​ Speise, f., ‘food,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spîse, OHG. spîsa, f.; borrowed in the beginning of the 9th cent. from Ital. and MidLat. spêsa for spensa (with regard to OHG. î for Lat. ê, see Feier and Seide). Comp. Ital. spesa, ‘expenditure, expenses’ (whence Spesen), from Ital. spéndere, ‘to spend’ (see spenden), equiv. to Lat. expendere.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Speichel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Speichel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Speichel, m., ‘spittle, saliva,’ from the equiv. MidHG. speichel, OHG. speihhilla, speihhila, f.; allied to Du. speeksel (Goth. *spaikuldr?), ‘spittle.’ It is uncertain in what way these cognates are connected with the root spîw, ‘to spit’ (see speien and spucken).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Spende

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Spende | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Spende, f., ‘spending, alms,’ from MidHG. spënde, OHG. spënta, f., ‘present, gift, alms.’ ModHG. spenden, vb., ‘bestow as a gift, spend, distribute,’ from MidHG. spënden, OHG. spëntôn, ‘to distribute gratuitously,’ which was borrowed about the 7th cent. from MidLat. and Ital. spéndere (equiv. to Lat. expendere), ‘to spend’ (to which ModHG. Speise belongs); allied to E. to spend.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Sperling

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Sperling | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Sperling, m., ‘sparrow,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spęrlinc (g), a dimin. of MidHG. spar, OHG. sparo, m., ‘sparrow’ (comp. E. starling, allied to ModHG. Staar), which represents the common Teut. name of the bird. Comp. Goth. sparwa, OIc. spęrr, ​AS. spearwa, E. sparrow (in Du. mosch, musch; for the LG. term see Lüning). Of this stem sparw-, which is based on the root spor, ‘to sprawl’ (see Sporn), Spatz seems to be a pet form; note also Franc. Sperk, ‘sparrow’ (in Suab. and Bav. the usual term is Spatz). Comp. Sperber.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Speicher

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Speicher | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Speicher, m., ‘granary, corn-loft,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spîcher, OHG. spîhheri (spîhhâri), m.; corresponding to OSax. spîkâri and Du. spijker. The permutation of the medial k to hh in HG. indicates that the word was borrowed before the 8th cent. (see Spelt). Lat. spîcârium, ‘granary,’ was probably introduced in the 4th cent. from the South of Europe with the art of building in stone (see Keller, also Söller and Ziegel); it is remarkable, however, that the word rarely occurs in the Rom. languages; Speicher is also wanting in Bav. Comp. also Speiche.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Nord

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Nord | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Nord, m. (almost obsolete in the UpG. vernacular), ‘north,’ from MidHG. nort (gen. nordes), m. and n., OHG. nord, m.; corresponding terms are found in all the OTeut. languages (whence Ital. norte and Fr. nord), the names of the cardinal points being formed independently in Teut.; in this case the Aryan languages possess no common term. Comp. OSax. *north (recorded only as an adv. ‘northwards’), AS. norþ, m., E. north. Goth. *naúrþs, or rather *naúrþr (equiv. to OIc. norðr), is by chance not recorded. It has been ​connected with Gr. νέρτερος, ‘that which exists below, lower down,’ which would involve the assumption that the word was coined at a period when the Teutons were descending the northern slope of a mountain range. Yet it must also be remembered that Umbr. nertro signifies ‘on the left.’ — To this Norden, m., ‘northern region,’ is allied; from MidHG. (MidG.) norden, OHG. nordan. n.; comp. also Süden.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Norne

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Norne | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Norne, f., ModHG. only, naturalised, espec. by Klopstock, from the equiv. OIc. norn (plur. norner), ‘goddess of fate’; the origin of the term is disputed.

# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Nonne

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Nonne | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Nonne, f., ‘nun,’ from the equiv. MidHG. nunne, OHG. nunna, f.; corresponding to Du. non, MidLG. and AS. nunne, f., E. nun, adopted, like the previous word, in connection with monastic life, both in G. and E. about the beginning of the 9th cent., from Lat. nonna (Gr. νόννα), which passed also into Rom.; comp. Fr. nonne, nonnain, ‘nun,’ Ital. nonna, ‘grandmother,’ like Ital. nonno, ‘grandfather.’ The early history of the cognates is obscure; late Lat. nonna was an ‘expressíon of reverence’ (hence its meaning in Ital.).—
Nonne, f., ‘gelded sow,’ is, like the corresponding words in MidHG. and Du., identical with Nonne, ‘nun,’ and was thus termed for sexual reasons.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/None

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/None | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ None, f., ‘afternoon prayers,’ from MidHG. nône, OHG. nôna, f., ‘hora nôna, the ninth hour of the day’ (reckoned from six A.M.), also ‘the prayers said at that hour.’ The term was borrowed during the OHG. period from Lat. nôna (scil. hora; comp. Fr. none, Ital. nona); comp. also OSax. nôna, nôn, AS. nôn, E. noon (the difference in time is said to be due to the shifting of the canonical ‘nona’ to midday).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Not

​ Not, f., ‘need, compulsion, distress,’ from MidHG. and OHG. nôt, f. (seldom masc.), ‘toil, oppression, danger, struggle, compulsion’; a common Teut. form; comp. Goth. nauþs, f., ‘necessity, compulsion, force,’ OIc. nauðr, f., ‘necessity,’ AS. nŷd, neád, f., E. need, Du. nood, OSax. nôd. The common Teut. stems naudi, nauþi, from pre-Teut. nauti-, have been connected with Pruss. nauti-, ‘distress’; nau- (see genau) is probably the root. —

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

​ schweben, verb, ‘to soar, hover,’ from Middle High German swëben, Old High German swëbên, ‘to soar, move to and from in or on water or in the air’; allied to Old Icelandic svífa, ‘to rove, ramble,’ Old High German sweibôn, Middle High German sweiben, ‘to soar. roam.’ The Aryan root swiþ, ‘to move.’ on which these words are based, had also a variant swib preserved in Modern High German schweifen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schweifen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schweifen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schweifen, verb, ‘to roam, rove, wander,’ from Middle High German sweifen, Old High German sweifan, ‘to cause to rotate, swing, wind’; compare Anglo-Saxon swâpan, ‘to swing, sweep, tear,’ English to swoop, to sweep, to which Anglo-Saxon and English swift, Dutch zweep, and Low German swipe, ‘whip,’ are allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwellen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwellen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwellen, verb, ‘to swell, rise,’ from the equivalent Middle High German swëllen, Old High German swëllan; corresponding to the equivalent Old Saxon swëllan, Dutch zwellen, Anglo-Saxon swëllan, English to swell, Old Icelandic svella; Gothic *swillan is wanting; for the Teutonic root swell, swel, see Schwiele. To this is allied the verb schwellen ‘to swell, expand’ (transitive), from Middle High German and Old High German swęllen, ‘to cause to swell,’ a factitive of schwellen. See Geschwulst.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwelgen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwelgen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwelgen, verb ‘to guzzle, carouse, revel,’ from Middle High German swëlgen, swëlhen, ‘to swallow, gulp down, drink,’ Old High German swëlgan, swëlahan, ‘to swallow, gulp down’; compare Old Saxon far-swëlgan, ‘to gulp down,’ Dutch zwelgen, ‘to swallow,’ zwelg, ‘draught,’ Anglo-Saxon swëlgan, English to swallow, Old Icelandic svelgja, ‘to swallow’; Gothic *swilhan is wanting. A Teutonic root. swëlh (swëlg by grammatical change), from pre-Teutonic swelk, is not found elsewhere. See Schwalch.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwanen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwanen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwanen, verb, ‘to presage, forebode,’ Modern High German only, literally ‘to have a presentiment,’ like the swan that sings before its death.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwanger

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwanger. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwanger, adjective, ‘pregnant, teeming,’ from the equivalent Middle High German swanger, Old High German swangar; compare Dutch zwanger, ‘pregnant,’ but Anglo-Saxon swǫngor, ‘awkward, idle’; the latter meaning makes the derivation from schwingen improbable. Anglo-Saxon has also the curious form swǫncor; see schwank.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwarz

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwarz. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwarz, adjective, ‘black, swarthy, gloomy,’ from Middle High German and Old High German swarz, ‘dark-coloured, black’; a common Teutonic term, most of the words denoting colour, except the recent loan-words, being part of the primitively Teutonic vocabulary (compare gelb, rot, braun, &c.); Gothic swarts, Old Icelandic svartr, Anglo-Saxon sweart, English swart, Dutch zwart, Old Saxon swart. Old Icelandic sorta, ‘black colour,’ sorte, ‘black cloud,’ and Surtr are in a different stage of gradation. The common Teutonic shwarta- ​is usually connected with Latin sordes (for *svordes?), ‘dirt,’ and suâsum (for *suarsum), ‘black colour, dirty spot’; Latin surdus ‘deaf,’ has also been referred, but with less probability, to the root sword, surd, ‘dark.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schweigen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schweigen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schweigen, verb, ‘to keep silence, be silent,’ from the equivalent Middle High German swîgen, Old High German swigên; compare Old Saxon swîgôn, Dutch swijgen, Old Frisian swîgia, Anglo-Saxon swī̆gian, ‘to be silent.’ The connection with Greek σϊγάω, σῖγή, ‘silence,’ is undoubted, in spite of the abnormal correspondence of Greek γ to Teutonic g (for k); we must assume a double Aryan root swī̆g, swī̆q (the latter for the West Teutonic words). Modern High German schweigen, verb, ‘to silence,’ from Middle High German and Old High German sweigen, ‘to reduce to silence,’ is a factitive of the foregoing schweigen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwank

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwank. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwank, adjective, ‘staggering, insteady,’ from Middle High German swanc (k), adjective, ‘pliant, thin, slender’; so too the equivalent Middle High German kel, Anglo-Saxon swgneor, Old Icelandic svang-r; allied to the root swing, in schwingen; hence schwant is literally ‘easily swung, pliant.’ With the Teutonic cognates Italian sguancio, ‘wryness,’ has been connected. .
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/schwelen

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry schwelen. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ schwelen, verb, ‘to burn slowly, smoulder,’ Modern High German only, from Low German. For the Teutonic root swel in Old High German swilizôn, ‘to burn slowly’, and Anglo-Saxon swëlan, ‘to glow,’ see under schwül.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/sputen

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/sputen | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ sputen, vb., ‘to speed, make haste,’ from the equiv. MidHG. *spuoten (not recorded), OHG. spuotôn; allied to MidHG. and OHG. spuot, f., ‘success, dispatch,’ which is the abstract of MidHG. and OHG. spuon (spuoan), ‘to succeed, be successful’ (sputen is wanting in Suab. and Bav.). To the same cognates E. speed, from AS. spéd, ‘success’ (AS. spôwan, ‘to make progress’), Du. spoed, ‘haste,’ spoeden, ‘to hasten.’ With the root spô (spê) contained in these words, Sans. sphâ, ‘to swell, grow, thrive,’ and OSlov. spěją (spěti), ‘to be successful,’ are connected; so too perhaps Lat. spatium.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/spähen

​ spähen, vb., ‘to spy,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spëhen, OHG. spëhôn. This word and the OHG. and OSax. adj. spâhi, MidHG. spœhe, ‘prudent, skilful’ (and Du. bespieden, ‘to spy’?), are the sole relics of the OTeut. root speh, ‘to see,’ which, through Lat. spec in speculum, conspicio, adspectus, as well as through Sans. spaç, ‘to see’ (Gr. σκέπ-τω for *σπέκτω?), is proved to be primit. Aryan (Aryan root spek). From the Teut. cognates those of Ital. spiare, Fr. épier, ‘to spy out’ (Ital. spione, Fr. espion, ‘spy,’ whence E. spy), were borrowed at an early period.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/spät

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/spät | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ spät, adj. and adv., ‘late(ly), backward,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spœte, OHG. spâti, adj. (but MidHG. spâte, OHG. spâto, adv.); comp. Du. spade, ‘late.’ Goth. preserves only spêdiza, ‘later,’ and spêdists, ‘latest, last, least.’ The Teut. spêd- cannot be traced farther.

​ spülen, vb., ‘to rinse, wash,’ from the equiv. MidHG. spüelen, OHG. spuolen, wk. vb.; corresponding to the equiv. Du. spoelen, AS. spêlan.

Du. stampen, E. to stamp, OIc. stappa (for *stampa), ‘to stamp, push.’ From these cognates Ital. stampare, Fr. étamper, ‘to impress,’ Ital. stampa, ‘stamp, impression,’ and Fr. estampe, are borrowed. Akin to Stempel and stumpf. The Teut. root stamp (stump), ‘to push,’ contained in these words, seems to be connected with Gr. στέμβω, ‘I tread’ (and Sans. stamba, ‘post’?). Comp. Stapfe and Stempel.

​ Schlaraffe, m., ‘sluggard, lubber,’ for earlier ModHG.. Schlauraffe, which is met with as late as the first half of the last ​cent.; from MidHG. slûr-affe (sluder-affe), ‘luxurious, thoughtless idler, sluggard,’ recorded in the 14th cent., and certainly of not much earlier date; the latter term is from MidHG. slûr, ‘sluggishness, lazy person,’ see schleudern, schlummern.
