"Korb" meaning in All languages combined

See Korb on Wiktionary

Noun [German]

IPA: /kɔrp/, [kɔʁp], [kɔɐ̯p], [kɔːp] Audio: De-Korb.ogg
Rhymes: -ɔɐ̯p Etymology: From Middle High German korp, from Old High German korb, chorp, from Proto-West Germanic *korb. The sense “rejection of a (romantic) request” is formed back from the expressions einen Korb geben (“to so reject”), einen Korb kriegen (“to be so rejected”). These derive from certain older customs, which involved a bottomless basket as a symbol of the end or inexistence of love. The further origin of this symbol seems uncertain, though it has been plausibly related to the apparent mediaeval practice of pulling a secret visitor up to one’s window in a basket. Compare the same in Dutch een korf krijgen and Swedish få korgen.

These derive from certain older customs, which involved a bottomless basket as a symbol of the end or inexistence of love. The further origin of this symbol seems uncertain, though it has been plausibly related to the apparent mediaeval practice of pulling a secret visitor up to one’s window in a basket. Compare the same in Dutch een korf krijgen and Swedish få korgen.",
