For the root, compare Sanskrit अतति (atati, “he wanders, goes”). For a comparable case of *-tn- yielding a geminate -nn- in Latin, see penna (“feather”), from Proto-Italic *petnā.

She moved about the country like a ghost, gathering herbs in dark loanings, lingering in kirkyairds, and casting a blight on innocent bairns.

They say that a shag is good for an unborn child, they get the circulation of blood, or some shite. The least ah kin dae is take an interest in the bairn’s welfare.

nappy

Probably shortened from napkin (but possibly a corruption of French nappe, since napkin is already a diminutive) + -y (diminutive ending).

The baby did a poo in her nappy.

You will notice that disposable nappies are sold in boy and girl versions. They vary in where the thickest padding is provided.

1995, Jennie Lindon, Lance Lindon, Leandra Negrini, Caring for Young Children, page 60:

Other equipment required was soap for hand washing and washing of nappies, a washing line for the drying of nappies,[…].

2005, Medical Association of Malawi, “Malawi Medical Journal: The Journal of Medical Association of Malawi”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name), volume 17, page 39:

You could burn disposable nappies (not a very practical option); otherwise, it′s probably best to take a supply of large plastic bags or nappy sacks with you and to dispose of them as thoughtfully as you can.

2008, Isabelle Young, Healthy Travel: Asia & India, 2nd edition, Lonely Planet, page 275:

In response we mailed hundreds of nappies to students in halls. On the nappy was a simple message, IT'S A LOT EASIER TO PUT ON A CONDOM.

2009, Chris Arnold, Ethical Marketing and The New Consumer, page 55:

(British, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand) An absorbent garment worn by a baby or toddler who does not yet have voluntary control of their bladder and bowels or by someone who is incontinent; a diaper.


nipper

Heard what I was saying, and nipped off to the patrols the very next day. Pretty smart for a nipper of seven, eh?

1949 June 8, George Orwell [pseudonym; Eric Arthur Blair], Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, London: Secker & Warburg, →OCLC; republished [Australia]: Project Gutenberg of Australia, August 2001, part 1, page 55:

No, this is not a creche: nippers should not be running around, fighting under the pool table or generally creating havoc (this applies to dogs, too).

κόρη

grc-noun

κόρη • (kórē) f (genitive κόρης); first declension

kórē (romanization)
κόρης (genitive)
ἡ κόρη (nominative singular)
τὼ κόρᾱ (dual nominative)
αἱ κόραι (nominative plural)
τῆς κόρης (genitive singular)
τοῖν κόραιν (dual genitive)
τῶν κορῶν (genitive plural)
τῇ κόρῃ (dative singular)

τὼ κόρᾱ (accusative dual)
τᾱ̀ς κόρᾱς (accusative plural)
κόρη (singular vocative)
κόρᾱ (dual vocative)
κόραι (plural vocative)

Greek: κόρη f (kóri)

→ English: kore, korephilia

→ Finnish: kore

→ Polish: kora f

From Proto-Hellenic *kórwā, whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀒𐀷 (ko-wa). In this word, ᾱ (ā) shifted to η (ē) in Attic (see Attic–Ionic vowel shift on Wikipedia) because of the preceding ϝ (w). In words like ὥρᾱ (hṓrā), ρ prevented ᾱ from shifting to η, because there was no intervening ϝ (w).
Probably related to κορίζομαι (korízomai, “to caress, care for”). From *ḱerh₃- (“to feed, grow”), related to κορέννυμι (korénnumi, “to satisfy”).


page

From Old French page, possibly via Italian paggio, from Late Latin pagius (“servant”), probably from Ancient Greek παιδίον (paidíon, “boy, lad”), from παῖς (paîs, “child”); some sources consider this unlikely and suggest instead Latin pagus (“countryside”), in sense of "boy from the rural regions". Used in English from the 13th century onwards.

der

(British) A youth employed for doing errands, waiting on the door, and similar service in households.


diaper

en-noun

diaper (countable and uncountable, plural diapers)

From Middle English dyaper, from Old French dyapre, diaspre, from Medieval Latin diaspra, diasprum from Byzantine Greek δίασπρος (díaspros, adj), from δια- (dia-, “across”) + ἄσπρος (áspros, “white”).

der

(Canada, US, Philippines, India) An absorbent garment worn by a baby, by a young child not yet toilet trained, or by an adult who is incontinent; a nappy.

popok

absorbent garment worn by a baby, or by someone who is incontinent


čaj

female child, daughter, girl (only gypsies and gentlewomen)


tot

Borrowed from Scots tot, a shortened form of totum (“small child; tot”), of uncertain origin, perhaps shortened from totter (“to move in an unsteady way”),
Compare tottle, also Old Norse tottr (“name of a dwarf”), Swedish tutte (“small child”), Danish tommeltot (“little child”).

Whoe answeared like a toute, or a maddman, as he was, that he was for the Kinge.

a. 1660, A Contemporary History Of Affairs In Ireland:

(UK, dialect, obsolete) A foolish fellow.


clout

English: clout

Scots: clout, cloot

From Old English clūt, from Proto-West Germanic *klūt, from Proto-Germanic *klūtaz. Compare cloud.

Cloth for wrapping babies; swaddling clothes.


bassinet

From French bassinet, superficially a diminutive of bassin (“basin”). Klein, however, suggests an origin from French bercelonette (itself a double diminutive of berceau (“cradle”)), with influence from bassin.

The next day, the baby sleeps in a bassinet near my bed.

2020, Avni Doshi, Burnt Sugar, Hamish Hamilton, page 198:

A newborn baby's bed, traditionally made of woven reeds or straw.


dottle

From Middle English dottel, dottelle (“a plug or tap of a vessel”), a diminutive of Old English dott (> English dot (“a point”)), equivalent to dot + -le. Related to Old English dyttan (“to stop up, clot”), Dutch dot (“a knot, lump, clod”), Low German Dutte (“a plug”). More at dit.


LC

en-noun

LC (countable and uncountable, plural LCs)

lactation consultant
w:lactation consultant

(healthcare) Initialism of lactation consultant.


Indian summer

French: été des Indiens, été indien

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Of North American origin, exact etymology uncertain. The most plausible suggestions are that Native Americans (or American Indians) called it a form of “summer” due to harvesting late plants or preparing for winter, or that European settlers coined it due to various Native American activities in this season, or due to the weather phenomenon being associated with regions inhabited by Native Americans. Alternatively, the use of the word Indian may indicate something deviating from the norm: compare terms like Indian bread, Indian corn.

Thus, while at times before our eye / The clouds about the present part, / And, smiling through them, round us lie / Soft hues of Memory's evening sky – / The Indian summer of the heart, / In secret sympathies of mind, / In founts of feeling which retain / Their pure fresh flow, we yet may find / Our early dreams not wholly vain!

1843, John G[reenleaf] Whittier, “Memories”, in Lays of My Home, and Other Poems, Boston, Mass.: William D[avis] Ticknor, →OCLC, page 110:

We may come to look back on the Sixties as the Indian summer of the Western imagination, of the last aristocrats of Western taste. Beginning with [John F.] Kennedy, the era ends with [Richard] Nixon and Joe Frazier, his hatchet-man … Cavaliers had better beware. The Roundheads are back in force.

1971 March 9, Francis Wheen, quoting Kenneth Tynan, “Introduction: The Paranoia Blues”, in Strange Days Indeed: The Golden Age of Paranoia, paperback edition, London: Fourth Estate, HarperCollins Publishers, published 2010, →ISBN, page 6:

Instead of focusing on winning the next election for her husband, Nancy Reagan can turn to the broader mission of helping others. She is laying down her own legacy next to her husband's. This kind of activism is often the hallmark of people in their Indian summer season. Their energy is fueled by a sense of urgency that is lacking in youth.

2004 June 15, Abigail Trafford, “Nancy Reagan’s Second Act”, in The Washington Post, Washington, D.C.: The Washington Post Company, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 2018-09-07, page HE01:

Here, in what she had begun to think of as the Indian summer of her life, she was claiming a future that held infinite and delicious possibilities; and she would spend the coming years with someone who would bring all the seasons alive.

2012 November 26, Betty R. Pritchett, The Indian Summer of Mary Margaret Masters, [Bloomington, Ind.]: Trafford Publishing, →ISBN, page 262:

(figuratively) The late autumn of life; a late flowering of activity before old age.

intiaanikesä

late autumn of life; late flowering of activity before old age


tyke

From Middle English tike, tyke, from Old Norse tík (“bitch”), from Proto-Germanic *tīkō (“female dog”). Compare modern Icelandic tík (“bitch, female dog”), Faroese tík (“bitch, female dog”), Swedish tik (“bitch, female dog”). For sense 5, early 20th century: alteration of Taig.

(Australia, New Zealand, informal, derogatory) A Roman Catholic.

Inherited from Old Spanish cumplir~complir, from Vulgar Latin *complīre, from Latin complēre. The retention of /pl/ is unusual and perhaps reflects some form of conservative tendency. Cf. henchir < *implīre < implēre for the more usual outcome. Compare also Portuguese cumprir, which shows a similar lack of palatalization.

inh+

딸

First attested in the Jīlín lèishì (鷄林類事 / 계림유사), 1103, as Late Old Korean 寶妲 (Yale: *pòtól), probably a compound of an ancient root for "daughter" *pòt- + suffix *-ól; compare Jilin leishi 丫妲 (Yale: *àtól, “son”), apparently equivalent to *à(N)t- + *-ól.
In the hangul script, first attested in the Yongbi eocheon'ga (龍飛御天歌 / 용비어천가), 1447, as Middle Korean ᄯᆞᆯ〮 (Yale: stól). The */p-/ > /s-/ shift is difficult to explain; perhaps it simply "represents an irregular development", or perhaps the expected cluster */pt-/ had already fully merged and was realized in speech only as [t͈-], which was misanalyzed as the surface realization of the cluster /st-/.
Choi Yeong-Seon believes that the character 寶 in 寶妲 is a corrupted spelling of 實 (Late Middle Chinese */ʑiɪt̚/), and that the true Late Old Korean lexeme should be *sùtól or a similar form. If this is true, the Middle Korean reflex ᄯᆞᆯ〮 (stól) would be entirely regular, requiring only the elision of a minimal vowel.

octogenarian

/ˌɑktəd͡ʒɪˈnɛɹiən/

/ˌɒktəd͡ʒɪˈnɛəɹɪən/

From Latin octōgēnārius + -an (suffix forming adjectives and representative nouns), either directly or via French octogénaire, from Latin octōgēnus (“80 each”) + -ārius (“-ary”), from octōgintā (“eight tens, 80”).

Mama was by no means the only grandma present, for the octogenarians had turned out en masse from their huts and lean-tos and were paddling about, diving and splashing as unconcernedly as though they really belonged in the sea rather than on land.

1929, Robert Dean Frisbee, The Book of Puka-Puka (republished by Eland, 2019; p. 75f; emphasis in original)

Finsbury Park station, one of the most important L.N.E.R. suburban junctions, is now an octogenarian.

1941 October, “Notes and News: Finsbury Park Station”, in Railway Magazine, page 466:

To replace logarithmic tables with natural tables required some time. This seems like a modern age, yet I am not an octogenarian and I can remember the dying gasp of the logarithmic table as the standard method of computation. I have seen the desk calculator become a necessary instrument for every scientist who is doing quantitative work.

1951, IBM Corp., Proceedings, Computation Seminar, page 13:

First up for recriminations may be President Biden. What if the octogenarian had stuck to his original suggestion that he’d be a “bridge” president – i.e., a one-termer – and announced he wouldn’t run for a second term early last year, allowing for a proper primary competition among the next generation of Democratic leaders?

2024 November 6, Linda Feldmann, “What Trump’s historic victory says about America”, in The Christian Science Monitor:

Synonym of eightysomething: a person between 80 and 89 years old.


schoolchild

They stayed together during three dances, went out on to the terrace, explored wherever they were permitted to explore, paid two visits to the buffet, and enjoyed themselves much in the same way as if they had been school-children surreptitiously breaking loose from an assembly of grown-ups.

1909, Archibald Marshall [pseudonym; Arthur Hammond Marshall], “A Court Ball”, in The Squire’s Daughter, New York, N.Y.: Dodd, Mead and Company, published 1919, →OCLC, page 9:

[…] the Wisconsin legislature passed a law providing incentives for transfers of schoolchildren in the metropolitan area, both intradistrict and interdistrict.

1988 January 29, Steve Bogira, “Interdistrict Transfer”, in Chicago Reader:

Spring ahead, fall back: Kathleen had once learned some rhyme about that when she was a schoolchild, but she no longer remembered it.

pram

Janet Bird née Ollerenshaw was pushing her pram along Tockley High Street.

1975, Margaret Drabble, The Realms of Gold, published 1977, page 127:

For a start the pram was heavier than it appeared, and also they were pulling it along very uneven ground. The edge of the field was slightly banked which tilted the pram at an angle.

2006, Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale:

Stepping over her, he unbuttoned the pram′s apron and pulled it back.
At first he couldn′t make out what the pram contained. He had to crane himself over, holding his body back from the obscuring light. The pram was full of groceries—cabbage, sprouts, potatoes.

2012, Ramsey Campbell, Dark Companions, page 233:

The Key Train Requirements document, released in July by the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB), includes a new clause covering people travelling with pushchairs. It highlights the need for space in carriages for unfolded pushchairs or prams, separate from areas for wheelchairs and cycles. It also recommends extending seat reservations to include pram spaces.

Unknown. Moș and its feminine counterpart moașă (“midwife; old woman”) (which appears to be older) are often considered substratum words related to Albanian moshë or derived from it, but can also possibly be from Latin annōsus (“aged, old, full of years”) with a loss of the initial vowel as in some other cases (compare mătușă, noaten, nămaie), and the -ș- sound formed as with coș. The change of -n- to -m- is more unusual, but has other instances as well (compare măgar, miel, miță). Its presence in all Eastern Romance languages (compare Aromanian mosh, moashi) and the addition of the prefix stră- also indicates that it is an old word and probably from a Latin source.

Fixed nominalisation of Middle High German jung (“young”), from Old High German jung (“young”).
Already occasionally in Middle High German [Term?], later gaining a fixed noun form based on its weak nominative inflection (giving ein Junge instead of ein Junger).

The now quite common plural form Jungs (Jungens) is also from German Low German [Term?]. Cognate with English young (noun).


youngster

As soon as Julia returned with a constable, Timothy, who was on the point of exhaustion, prepared to give over to him gratefully. The newcomer turned out to be a powerful youngster, fully trained and eager to help, and he stripped off his tunic at once.

1963, Margery Allingham, chapter 19, in The China Governess: A Mystery, London: Chatto & Windus, →OCLC:

‘Cook-housekeeper jobs don’t grow on trees,’ went on the woman, ‘leastways not where you can keep a youngster with you.’ [...] ‘Do you mean,’ stammered Jess, ‘that you are . . .?’ ‘Cook-housekeeper,’ the woman nodded. ‘Aren’t I telling you? It’s all confirmed!’ ‘And the youngster – me?’ asked Jessamy. ‘Well, whoever else you silly child!’ said the housekeeper, smiling.

1967, Barbara Sleigh, Jessamy, Sevenoaks, Kent: Bloomsbury, published 1993, →ISBN, page 32:

“Besides,” she says, looking possessively at her class of Chinese youngsters, “can you imagine these children going to an ordinary school?”

In a single moment Montenegro and their supporters were given fresh impetus and encouragement.

Harriet Pappenheim, a psychotherapist at Park Avenue Relationship Consultants who wrote “For Richer or Poorer,” a 2006 book on money in marriage, said that the repercussions could be acute for Wall Street wunderkinds who define their identities through their job titles and the size of their bonuses.

crib

en-noun

crib (countable and uncountable, plural cribs)

From Middle English crib, cribbe, from Old English crib, cryb, cribb, crybb (“couch, bed; manger, stall”), from Proto-West Germanic *kribbjā, from Proto-Germanic *kribjǭ (“crib, wickerwork”), from Proto-Indo-European *grebʰ-, *gerbʰ- (“bunch, bundle, tuft, clump”), from *ger- (“to turn, twist”).
Cognate with Saterland Frisian Kräbbe, Krääb, Krääf (“crib”), West Frisian krêbe (“crib”), Dutch krib (“crib, manger”), German Krippe (“rack, crib”), Danish krybbe (“crib”), Icelandic krubba (“crib”). Doublet of crèche. The sense of ‘stealing, taking notes, plagiarize’ seems to have developed out of the verb.
The criminal sense may derive from the 'basket' sense, circa the mid 18th century, in that a poacher could conceal poachings in such a basket (see the 1772 Samuel Foote quotation). The cheating sense probably derives from the criminal sense.
