1898, Александр Куприн [Aleksandr I. Kuprin], “III”, in Олеся; English translation from John Middleton Murry, transl., The Witch (Olyessia), 1916:

Olyessia’s red skirt, fluttering in the wind, could still be seen on the steps of the hut, a spot of bright colour on the smooth and blinding background of the snow.

Krásnaja júbka Olési, slexká koléblemaja vétrom, ješčó vidnélasʹ na krylʹcé xáty, vydeljájasʹ járkim pjatnóm na oslepítelʹno bélom, róvnom fóne snéga.

smock

From Middle English smok, from Old English smocc, smoc, from Proto-Germanic *smukkaz (“something slipped into”); akin to Old High German smocho, Icelandic smokkur, and from the root of Old English smugan (“to creep”), akin to German schmiegen (“to cling to, press close”). Middle High German smiegen, Icelandic smjúga (“to creep through, to put on a garment which has a hole to put the head through”); compare with Lithuanian smukti (“to glide”). See also smug, smuggle.

And women were in that gabarre [boat]; whom the Red Nightcaps were stripping naked; who begged, in their agony, that their smocks might not be stript from them.

English: boot

→ English: bote (also from Old English bōt)

Scots: bute, buit

From Old English bōt, from Proto-West Germanic *bōtu, from Proto-Germanic *bōtō. The final vowel is generalised from the Old English inflected forms.

Mirth, gladness; the feeling or emotion of being happy and joyful.


bote

English: boot

→ Scots: boot

Scots: bute, buit

Old French bote (Modern French botte), from Old French bot, bote, probably related to bot (“club-foot”), bot (“fat, short, blunt”); ultimately of Germanic origin, from Frankish *butt, from Proto-Germanic *buttaz, *butaz (“cut off, short, numb, blunt”).

A boot or similar item of footwear; a shoe with a cover for part of the leg.

→ Cebuano: yema
→ Tagalog: yema

→ Spanish: gema (learned)
→ Catalan: gema (dialectal, Castilianism)

→ Proto-West Germanic: *gimmu (see there for further descendants)

Unknown. Possibilities include:
* Cognate with Proto-Slavic *zębnǫti and Lithuanian žémbėti, both meaning “to germinate, sprout”, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ǵemb- or *ǵeb- (“to bud, sprout”), though such a root would be irregular for PIE;
* From Proto-Indo-European *ǵembʰ- (“nail, tooth”), despite the semantic gap. Compare, however, Ancient Greek ὄνυξ (ónux, “claw, nail, hoof, talon, but also onyx (gem)”);
* From Proto-Italic *gen- (“to produce”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁-; compare gignō and genus;
* A non-Indo-European substrate source. The unusual form of the word, the lack of clear cognates and the semantic category of the word make this hypothesis likely.


tit for tat

Origin uncertain; conjectured to be ultimately from Dutch dit voor dat (“this for that”) or French tant pour tant (“equal for equal”). Compare earlier tip for tap (“(a) blow for (a) blow”), from tip + tap; compare also dialectal tint for tant and tit (“a light blow or hit”). The vowel sequence follows a typical ablaut reduplication pattern.

der

If you hit me, I’ll hit you back; tit for tat.

Tit for tat is the policy of cooperating on the first move and then doing whatever the other player did on the previous move. This policy means that tit for tat will defect once after each defection of the other player.

2006, Robert Axelrod, The evolution of cooperation, →ISBN, page 13:

Could it but for a longer Space / Lengthen the Bliſs it let's us taſte, / Who would not doat on't? But alas! / The Joy's too exquiſite to laſt. / Two white Herculean Pillars prop / The tufted Gin, the tempting Snare; / When they divide, then in we pop, / Before we well know where we are. / Then that for this, and tit for tat; / But when the pleaſing Minute's flown, / As uſeleſs it returns the Bait, / And both look fooliſh when 'tis done.

As part of the planning for a new initiative on Cuba, the NSC [National Security Council] also revived the concept of "calibrated response." A new staffer was tasked to develop a list of "tit-for-tats" with Cuba—which sanctions might be lifted or softened in response to clear steps toward democracy by the [Fidel] Castro regime.

tit for tat

Fred came from Cheapside in London – an official Cockney, born within earshot of the bells of St. Mary-le-Bow – and he taught her Cockney rhyming slang. She loved its lighthearted logic: the last word in a common phrase rhymed with the word it was to replace. So "tit for tat" was "hat", and "trouble and strife" was "wife". But the best part was that you usually dropped the rhyming words and used only the first words, so "your wife's hat" became "your trouble's titfer".

[2005, A. R. Homer, The Sobs of Autumn’s Violins: A Novel of War and Love, Coral Springs, Fla.: Llumina Press, →ISBN, page 148:

Tit for tat hat / The phrase ‘tit for tat’ […] emerged as a rhyme for ‘hat’ in the late nineteenth century and was subsequently condensed to ‘titfer’ around 1930, in which form it enjoyed unparalleled success at a time when virtually everyone wore a hat.

pith helmet

A lightweight helmet-shaped hat made of the pith of the sola or shola (Indian spongewood) plant covered with white cotton and faced with green cloth.

From the shola or sola plant (Aeschynomene aspera)—whose pith is used—and topi or tope, Hindi for "hat", popularised by the British colonials who wore them while inspecting farms or travelling.

In some Charles appeared, in shorts and sola topi, flanked by robed, shock-headed men of intense blackness.
