# Americanism (Harding)

My countrymen, the first claiming source of Americanism was writed in framing the Federal Constitution in 1787. The pilgrims signed their simple and suggested covenant a whole century and a half before, and set aflame their beacon of liberty on the coast of Massachusetts. Other pioneers of New World's freedom were rearing their new standards of liberty from Jamestown to Plymouth for five generations before Lexington and Concord heralded the new era. It is all American in the best and result, yet all of it lacks the soul of nationality.
In simple truth, there was no thought of nationality in the revolution for America's independence. The colonists were resisting a wrong, and freedom was their solace. Once it was achieved, nationality was the only agency suited to its preservation. Americanism really began when robed in nationality. The American Republic began the blazed trail of representative, popular government. Representative democracy was proclaimed the safe agency of highest human freedom. America headed the forward procession of civil, human, and religious liberty which ultimately will affect the liberation of all mankind. The Federal Constitution is the very base of all Americanism, the ark of the covenant of American liberty, the very temple of equal rights. The Constitution does abide and ever will, so long as the Republic survives.
Let us hesitate before we surrender the nationality which is the very soul of highest Americanism. This republic has never failed humanity, nor endangered civilization. We have been tardy sometimes — like when we were proclaiming democracy and neutrality, and yet ignored our national rights — but the ultimate and helpful part we played in the Great War will be the pride of Americans so long as the world recites the story. We do not mean to hold aloof, we choose no [isolation], we shun no duty. I like to rejoice in an American conscience, and in a big conception of our obligation to liberty, justice, and civilization — aye, and more. I like to think of Columbia's helping hand to new republics which are seeking the blessings portrayed in our example. But I have a confidence in our America that requires no council of foreign powers to point the way of American duty. We wish to counsel, cooperate, and contribute, but we arrogate to ourselves the keeping of the American conscience, and every concept of our moral obligation.
It's time to idealize, but it's very practical to make sure our own house is in perfect order before we attempt the miracle of Old World stabilization. Call it the selfishness of nationality if you will. I think it's an inspiration to patriotic devotion to safeguard America first, to stabilize America first, to prosper America first, to think of America first, to exalt America first, to live for and revere America first. Let the internationalist dream, and the Bolshevist destroy. God pity him for whom no [minstrel raptures swell.] In the spirit of the Republic we proclaim Americanism and acclaim America.

Much has been said of late about good Americanism. It is right that it should have been said. And it is right that every chance should be seized to repeat the basic truths underlying our prosperity and our national existence itself. But it would be an unusual and much to be wished-for thing, if in the coming presentation of the issue a new note of fairness and generosity could be struck.
Littleness, meanness, falsehood, extreme partisanship: these are not in accord with the American spirit. I like to think that in this respect also we are moving forward. Let me be concrete. We have passed through a great war. An armed conflict which called forth every resource, every effort, on the part of the whole population. The war was won by Republicans as well as by Democrats. Men of all parties served in our armed forces. Men and women of all parties served the government at home. They strived honestly, as Americans, not as mere partisans. Republicans and Democrats alike worked in administrative positions, raised Liberty Loans, administered food control, toiled in munitions plants, built ships. The war was brought to a successful conclusion by a glorious common effort — one which in the years to come will be a national pride.
I feel very certain that our children will come to regard our participation as memorable for the broad honor and honesty which marked it; for the absence of unfortunate scandal and for the splendid unity of action which extended to every portion of the nation. It would therefore not only serve little purpose, but would conform ill to our high standards, if any person should, in the heat of political rivalry, seek to manufacture political advantage out of a nationally conducted struggle.
We have seen things on too large a scale to listen at this date to trifles, or to believe in the adequacy of trifling men. It is that same vision of the bigger outlook of national and individual life which will, I am sure, lead us to demand that the men who represent us in the affairs of government shall be more than politicians; that they shall subordinate always the individual ambitions and the party advantage to the national good. In the long run, the true statements and the honestly forward-looking party will prevail.
Even if a nation entered the war for an ideal, so it has emerged from the war with the determination that this ideal shall not die. It is idle to pretend that the declaration of war of April 6, 1917 was a mere act of self-defense, or that the object of our participation was solely to defeat the military power of the central nations of Europe. We knew then as a nation, even as we know today, that success on land and sea could be but half a victory. The other half is not won yet. The cry of the French at Verdun, "They shall not pass" and the cheer of our own men in the Argonne, "We shall go through," these were essential glories, yet they are incomplete. To them we must write the binding finish — it shall not occur again — for America demands that the crime of war shall cease.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Takel

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Takel. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Takel, neuter, ‘tackle,’ Modern High German only, adopted, like many nautical terms, from Low German; compare the equivalent Dutch takel, English tackle, Danish takkel, Swedish takel. The literal meaning of this, which is peculiar to maritime dialects, was ‘implements (in general),’ which leads to kinship with Gothic taujan, ‘to make’ (compare tooijen, ‘to adorn,’ English tool).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Talg

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Talg. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Talg, masculine, ‘tallow,’ Modern High German only, from Low German (talg), hence unknown to Swabian and Bavarian; allied to Dutch talk, Anglo-Saxon *tealg, English tallow, Old Icelandic tolgr. Teutonic talgo- (tolgo-) cannot be traced farther back; yet note Anglo-Saxon tœlg, ‘colour’ (see Seife). It is scarcely connected with Gothic tulgus, ‘firm’ (Talg, literally ‘that which has become solid’?). The proper High German (Upper German) word is Unschlitt.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tanne

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tanne. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tanne, feminine, ‘fir tree,’ from the equivalent Middle High German tanne, feminine, Old High German tanna, signifies ‘fir tree, oak,’ hence the primary idea of the word is usually ‘forest tree’ (see Eiche, Buche). This is supported by Modern High German Tann, masculine, from Middle High German tan (nn), masculine and neuter, ‘forest’' (Old High German tan-ęsil, ‘wild ass’), which seems to be based on a collective signification of Tanne. The early history of the High German cognates (to which Old Dutch dęnnia, Dutch den, ‘fir tree,’ is allied) is uncertain. Its connection with Greek θάμνος, ‘thicket,’ is dubious.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tante

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tante. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tante, feminine, ‘aunt,’ Modern High German only, formed from French tante; for the genuine German words preserved dialectically see Base and Muhme.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tafelrunde

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tafelrunde. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tafelrunde, feminine, ‘Round Table,’ like the equivalent Middle High German tavelrande (especially of King Arthur); an imitation of French table ronde.

​ Tand, masculine, ‘toy, trifle, bauble,’ from Middle High German tant, masculine, ‘idle talk, tricks’ (to which Middle High German tanten, ‘to play a practical joke,’ is allied). —

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

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tanz. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tanz, masculine, ‘dance, ball,’ from the equivalent Middle High German tanz, masculine, to which Middle High German and Modern High German tanzen is allied. The word was first adopted in the 11th century. In Old High German the verbs were salzôn (which, like Anglo-Saxon sealtian, was borrowed at an early period from Latin saltâre), and the genuine Teutonic tûmôn and leihhan (compare Leich). The late appearance of Middle High German tanzen tends to show that it is a loan-word; it is based on the equivalent. Romance cognates, Italian danzare (French danser, whence English to dance, and Dutch dansen). It is true that, considering the late period at which it was borrowed, the High German t compared to Italian d is abnormal. The Romance cognates are themselves of Teutonic origin, which has been sought in Old High German dansôn, ‘to draw’ (allied to Gothic þinsan; see gedunsen).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Tag

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Tag. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Tag, masculine, ‘day, daylight,’ from the equivalent Middle High German and Old High German tac (g), masculine; common to Teutonic in the form dago-; compare Gothic dags, Old Icelandic dagr, Anglo-Saxon dœg, English day (also to dawn), Dutch and Old Saxon dag. This specifically Teutonic word represents the stem, almost obsolete in Teutonic, of the equivalent Latin dies, Sanscrit dina, Old Slovenian dī̆nī̆ (Gothic sin-teins, ‘daily,’ see Sündflut). To explain Teutonic dago- (to which Anglo-Saxon dôgor, Old Icelandic dœ́gr, from dôgoz, dôgiz, are allied), it has been connected with the Sanscrit root dah (for Aryan dhē̆gh, dhō̆gh?), ‘to burn’; this appears further in Lithuanian dègti, ‘to burn,’ dágas, dagà, ‘harvest’ (also in Sanscrit áhar, neuter, ‘day’?). Hence the base dhógho-s, common to German Tag and Lithuanian dágas, means perhaps ‘the hot period of the day or year’ (compare Ostern as a proof that names for periods of the day and year may be identical). Tag in German denoted originally only the light period of the day; the day of twenty-four hours was called Nacht. —

​ Gips, m., ‘gypsum, plaster of Paris,’ from the equiv. MidHG. and late OHG. gips, which again is derived from MidLat.-Gr. gypsum (γύψος, MidGr. and ModGr. ν being pronounced like i, see Kirche), whence also Fr. gypse, Du. gips.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Glanz

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Glanz | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Glanz, m., ‘lustre, splendour,’ from the equiv. MidHG. glanz (wanting in OHG.), with which is connected the OHG. and MidHG. adj. glanz, ‘bright, shining’; ModHG. glänzen, from the equiv. OHG. and MidHG. glęnzen; to the same class belong MidHG. glander, ‘splendour, shining,’ and glanst, ‘splendour,’ further glinster, ‘splendour,’ and the very rare str. vb. glinzen. A stem glint- is wanting in the rest of the Teut. dialects unless the cognates of glatt (Goth. *glada-) are allied.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Gipfel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Gipfel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Gipfel, m., ‘summit, top, climax,’ from the equiv. late MidHG. gipfel, m., the prim. word cannot be discovered; Gipfel is scarcely an intensive form of Giebel; MidHG. gupf, gupfe, ‘point, summit,’ is ​still less closely allied, and is rather a variant of Kuppe.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Gift

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Gift | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Gift in Mitgift, Brautgift, f., from the equiv. MidHG. and OHG. gift, f., ‘gift, present’; a verbal noun from geben (Goth. gifts, E. gift). — Gift, n., meaning ‘poison,’ is the same word (for the evolution of meaning comp. Fr. poison, from Lat. potio, potionem, ‘drink’); even in MidHG. and OHG. gift, f. (always neut. in this sense in ModHG.), Du. gift; in Goth. lubja, ‘poison’ (OHG. luppi, MidHG. lüppe, ‘poison’). The common Aryan term for ‘poison’ (Sans. viša-, Lat. virus, Gr. ίος) has not been preserved in Teut. See verwesen.

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Gilde | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Gilde, f., ‘guild, corporation,’ ModHG. only, from the equiv. Du. gild; corresponding to OIc. gilde, ‘guild’ (from the middle of the 11th cent.), MidE. gilde, E. guild. The prim. meaning of the word, which first appears in Scand., is ‘sacrifice, sacrificial feast, festive gathering, club’; allied to gelten (in the sense of ‘to sacrifice,’ in OSax. geldan, and in AS. gildan).

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Ginst | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Ginst, Ginster, m., ‘broom (plant),’ first occurs in ModHG., from Lat. gentista, whence also the Romance cognate, Fr. genêt; the genuine Teut. term is preserved in E. broom, Du. bręm. See Brombeere.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Gimpel

| Expand abbreviations An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Gimpel | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Gimpel, m. ‘bullfinch,’ from the equiv. late MidHG. gümpel; in ModHG. figuratively ‘simpleton.’ MidHG. gümpel is connected with gumpel, ‘leaping, jest,’ and further with gumpen, ‘to hop’; hence MidHG. gumpelmann (plur. gumpelliute), and gumpęlknëht, ‘tumbler, buffoon, fool.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Gilbe

​ Gilbe, f., ‘yellow colour or substance,’ from the equiv. MidHG. gilwe, OHG. giliwî (gëlawî), f.; an abstract of gelb (Goth. *gilwei, akin to *gilwa-). — To this gilben, ‘to colour yellow,’ is allied.

​ Gischt, older Gäscht, m., ‘yeast, foam,’ formed from the equiv. MidHG. jëst, gëst, m., corresponding to E. yest, yeast, Du. gest, ‘yeast.’ Allied to gischen (MidHG. gischen), older gäschen (MidHG. geschen, a variant of jësen). See gären, a factitive of MidHG. jësen.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Gitter

​ Gitter, n., ‘trellice, lattice, railing,’ from the equiv. MidHG. geter, n., a variant of gater, Gatter; even in late MidHG. gegitter.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mehltau

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Mehltau. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mehltau, masculine, ‘mildew, blight,’ corrupted from the equivalent Middle High German miltou, neuter, Old High German mili-tou, neuter; compare Anglo-Saxon meledeáw (miledeáw), English mildew. The opinions as to the origin of the first component are various. The most probable derivation is that from Gothic miliþ, neuter, ‘honey’ (compare Old Icelandic milska, feminine, ‘sweet drink’), to which in West Teutonic a substantive mili (Greek μέλι, stem μέλιτ-, Latin mel) is possibly akin; hence Mehltau, ‘honeydew’?. It is less probable that the word was borrowed from or was primitively allied to the equivalent Greek μίλτος, so that Tau may have been an explanatory addition (compare Lindwurm and Windhund). It is also possible that Old High German mili-, Anglo-Saxon mele-, mile-, is connected with Mehl, and a special formation from the root mel, ‘to grind.’ In that case the Modern High German change of Miltau into Mehltau is warranted by etymology; Mehltau is defined as ‘a greyish-white, meal-like coating on plants in summer.’
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Meier

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Meier. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Meier, neuter, ‘head-servant on an estate, land-steward, farmer,’ from Middle High German meier, meiger, masculine, Old High German meior, meier, masculine; it corresponds to the early Middle Latin major domus, which literally denoted ‘the steward of the household servants’; hence Old High German and Middle High German meier, ‘steward of an estate, manager or lessee of an estate.’ From Latin major, French maire is also derived.
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Meisch

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Meisch. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Meisch, masculine, Meische, feminine, ‘mash,’ from Middle High German meisch, masculine, ‘grape mash,’ also ‘mead, drink mixed with honey’; allied to English mash, which by chance not recorded in Anglo-Saxon and Middle English. It is very likely related by gradation to mischen, if the latter, as is probable, is a genuine Teutonic word; compare Middle English mâschien and the equivalent English to mash. With this agrees the further assumption that Middle High German meisch, ‘mead,’ is primitively allied to Old Slovenian mězga, ‘tree-juice’ (for Old Slovenian zg, equivalent to Teutonic sk, see mischen and Masche).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Mehl

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Mehl. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Mehl, neuter, ‘meal, flour, dust,’ from Middle High German mël (genitive mëlawes), neuter, Old High German mëlo (genitive mëlawes), neuter; corresponding to Old Saxon mël, Dutch meel, Anglo-Saxon mëlu (genitive mëlwes), neuter, English meal, Old Icelandic mjǫl (genitive plural mjǫlva), ‘meal’; the common Teutonic word for ‘meal’; Gothic *milwa (genitive *milwis) is ​by chance not recorded. It is a specifically Teutonic derivative of the root mal, ‘to grind,’ of which the form mel is authenticated by Slavonic and Irish; see mahlen. While the verb mahlen is common to West Aryan, the form of the word Mehl, from the root mel, is peculiar to Teutonic; it may also be remarked that the substantive is found in English, though not the corresponding verb. There is also a derivative from the same root in Keltic; compare Welsh blawd, Breton bleud (from mlât).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Meise

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Meise. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Meise, feminine, ‘titmouse,’ from the equivalent Middle High German meise, Old High German meisa, feminine; compare Dutch mees, Anglo-Saxon mâse (English only in titmouse, a corruption of tit-moase; Anglo-Saxon â is equivalent to English oa); Old Icelandic meisingr, masculine, with a suffix ‘titmouse.’ A term peculiar to Teutonic, which passed also into French (French mésange, ‘titmouse,’ formed from Scandinavian meisingr?); origin obscure. Only a few names of birds can be traced beyond the Teutonic group (compare Aar, Drossel, Specht, and Kranich).
# An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language/Annotated/Meile

| This annotated version expands the abbreviations in the original entry Meile. | Random word Special:RandomInCategory/Annotated entries in Kluge's Etymological Dictionary of the German Language |
​ Meile, feminine (rare in Suabian and Bavarian), ‘mile’ (about five English miles), from the equivalent Middle High German mîle, Old High German mîla, mîlla (for mîlja), feminine; corresponding to Dutch mijl, Anglo-Saxon mîl, English mile, Scandinavian míla, feminine, ‘mile’; from Latin mîlia (passuum), ‘thousand paces,’ whence also Italian miglia, French mille. It properly denotes ‘a measure of a thousand paces (singular mille passuum).’ The more frequent plural mîlia was adopted in Romance and German, chiefly as a feminine singular, without the addition of passuum (Italian formed the singular miglio, ‘mile,’ from the plural miglia). The word was borrowed in the first century contemporaneously with Straße (Italian lega, French lieue, ‘league,’ a later word of Keltic origin, was never adopted in German).
