Noun [German]

IPA: /ˈɔtɐ/
Etymology: From early New High German nō̆ter, eastern secondary form of Middle High German nāter, from Old High German nātara. Originally the same word as Natter “colubrid”, which see. The form is based on the common dialectal development -ā- → -ō- with subsequent irregular shortening. Loss of initial n- is a common development in the Germanic languages and is due to metanalysis, i.e. the unetymological segmentation of preceding endings or articles, for example: *eine notter, dialectally *en notter → *en‿otter. The same happened in Dutch adder and English adder. The German form was spread by Luther.

Originally the same word as Natter “colubrid”, which see.\nThe form is based on the common dialectal development -ā- → -ō- with subsequent irregular shortening. Loss of initial n- is a common development in the Germanic languages and is due to metanalysis, i.e. the unetymological segmentation of preceding endings or articles, for example: *eine notter, dialectally *en notter → *en‿otter. The same happened in Dutch adder and English adder. The German form was spread by Luther.",

  "etymology_text": "From early New High German nō̆ter, eastern secondary form of Middle High German nāter, from Old High German nātara. Originally the same word as Natter “colubrid”, which see.\nThe form is based on the common dialectal development -ā- → -ō- with subsequent irregular shortening. Loss of initial n- is a common development in the Germanic languages and is due to metanalysis, i.e. the unetymological segmentation of preceding endings or articles, for example: *eine notter, dialectally *en notter → *en‿otter. The same happened in Dutch adder and English adder. The German form was spread by Luther.",
