Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈʃækl̩/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈʃæk(ə)l/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-shackle.wav Forms: shackles [plural]
Rhymes: -ækəl Etymology: From Middle English shakel, schakkyl, schakle (“a fetter, shackle; coupling used to connect a plough or wagon to a draft chain”), from Old English sċacul, sċeacel, sċeacul (“fetter, shackle”), from Proto-West Germanic *skakul, from Proto-Germanic *skakulaz (“shackle”), possibly from *skakaną (“to shake; to swing; to escape”), from Proto-Indo-European *skeg-, *skek- (“to shake; to stir”). However, this is doubted by the Oxford English Dictionary because *skeg-, *skek- lack the meaning of attaching or fastening. Sense 3 (“length of cable or chain equal to 12½ or 15 fathoms”) derives from the original distance between two shackles (sense 1.1.2) connecting lengths of cable or chain together. cognates * Danish skagle (“carriage trace”) * Dutch schakel (“clasp; link; shackle”) * German Schäckel (“shackle”) * Icelandic skökull (“carriage pole”) * Swedish skakel (“loose shaft of a carriage”) Etymology templates: {{inh|en|enm|shakel}} Middle English shakel, {{inh|en|ang|sċacul}} Old English sċacul, {{inh|en|gmw-pro|*skakul}} Proto-West Germanic *skakul, {{inh|en|gem-pro|*skakulaz|t=shackle}} Proto-Germanic *skakulaz (“shackle”), {{inh|en|ine-pro|*skeg-}} Proto-Indo-European *skeg-, {{sup|1}} ¹, {{langname|en}} English, {{senseno|en|length|uc=1}} Sense 3, {{langname|en}} English, {{senseno|en|nautical}} sense 1.1.2, {{cog|da|skagle|t=carriage trace}} Danish skagle (“carriage trace”), {{cog|nl|schakel|t=clasp; link; shackle}} Dutch schakel (“clasp; link; shackle”), {{cog|de|Schäckel|t=shackle}} German Schäckel (“shackle”), {{cog|is|skökull|t=carriage pole}} Icelandic skökull (“carriage pole”), {{cog|sv|skakel|t=loose shaft of a carriage}} Swedish skakel (“loose shaft of a carriage”) Head templates: {{en-noun}} shackle (plural shackles)

  "etymology_text": "From Middle English shakel, schakkyl, schakle (“a fetter, shackle; coupling used to connect a plough or wagon to a draft chain”), from Old English sċacul, sċeacel, sċeacul (“fetter, shackle”), from Proto-West Germanic *skakul, from Proto-Germanic *skakulaz (“shackle”), possibly from *skakaną (“to shake; to swing; to escape”), from Proto-Indo-European *skeg-, *skek- (“to shake; to stir”). However, this is doubted by the Oxford English Dictionary because *skeg-, *skek- lack the meaning of attaching or fastening.\nSense 3 (“length of cable or chain equal to 12½ or 15 fathoms”) derives from the original distance between two shackles (sense 1.1.2) connecting lengths of cable or chain together.\ncognates\n* Danish skagle (“carriage trace”)\n* Dutch schakel (“clasp; link; shackle”)\n* German Schäckel (“shackle”)\n* Icelandic skökull (“carriage pole”)\n* Swedish skakel (“loose shaft of a carriage”)",
