The Hobbit

hobbit

Coined in its current sense by J. R. R. Tolkien in the 1930s, featured in the novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Jocularly etymologized by him as from a hypothetical Old English *holbytla (literally “hole-builder”). Tolkien was possibly influenced by similar terms for house-sprites (probably from Hob, a hypocoristic form of Robert), or an isolated mention of hobbits (with hobgoblins following immediately afterwards) in a list of sprites and bogies from the 19th-century Denham Tracts.

adiaphora

Adiaphora being the theological tool which was developed during the controversies of the Reformation, is the baptism not an adiaphora?

2003, P. Solomon Raj, The New Wine-Skins: The Story of the Indigenous Missions in Coastal Andhra Pradesh, India, chapter i: “The Quest”, 13

Spener thought it should have been considered an adiaphora, or at worst, a moderate institution of spiritual life; Loescher thought its privatized nature competed directly with public and corporate worship.

2008 May, Timothy M. Salo, An Orthodox Lutheran View of Ecclesiology: A Doctrinal and Practical Exchange between Valentin Ernst Loescher (1673–1749) and Joachim Lange (1670–1744), ProQuest, UMI №: 3352196, chapter iii: “Lutheran Orthodox Ecclesiology and the Challenge of Pietism”, § 3.4: ‘Loescher’s Explicit View of Ecclesiology’, sub-§ 3.4.2: «Summary», pages 197–198

Second, Roman Catholicism in India dilly-dallied on the caste question, treating ‘caste’ as an adiaphora which was not significant in matters relating to salvation.

lord

Belizean Creole: laad

→ Bengali: লাট (laṭ)

→ Hindi: लाट (lāṭ)

→ Czech: lord

→ Faroese: lordur

→ Greek: λόρδος (lórdos)

Gullah: lawd

→ Hungarian: lord

→ Italian: lord

Jamaican Creole: laad

Pijin: lod

→ Portuguese: lorde

→ Russian: ло́рд (lórd)

→ Serbo-Croatian: lȍrd / ло̏рд

→ Spanish: lord

Torres Strait Creole: lod

→ Turkish: lord

→ Yiddish: לאָרד (lord)

From Middle English lord and lorde (attested from the 15th century), from earlier (14th century) lourde and other variants which dropped the intervocalic consonant of earlier lowerd, louerd, loverd, laford, and lhoaverd; from Old English hlāford < hlāfweard, a compound of hlāf (“bread”) + weard (“guardian”); see loaf and ward. The term was already being applied broadly prior to the literary development of Old English and was influenced by its common use to translate Latin dominus. Compare Scots laird (“lord”), preserving a separate vowel development (from northern/Scottish Middle English lard, laverd), the Old English compound hlāf-ǣta (“servant”, literally “bread-eater”), and modern English lady, from Old English hlǣfdīġe (“bread-kneader”). The Middle English word laford was borrowed by Icelandic, where it survives as lávarður.

1526, W. Bonde, Pylgrimage of Perfection, i. sig. Bviiiv
Farre excellyng the state of lordes, erles, dukes or kynges.

kike

kike (third-person singular simple present kikes, present participle kiking, simple past and past participle kiked)

kikes (present singular third-person)
kiking (participle present)
kiked (participle past)
kiked (past)

Thought to be from Yiddish קײַקל (kaykl, “circle”). In the early 20th century, non-English-speaking Jews that immigrated to the United States would sign papers with a circle as opposed to a more common X. The latter symbol was associated by these Jews with the Christian cross, a symbol that represented to them millennia of persecution. This is the dominant etymological theory, but there are others, in particular a contraction from the documented phrase ‘Ikey-Kikey’, an American-origin reduplication of Ikey, British-English pejorative for Jews after the prevalence of the name Isaac.

(transitive, offensive, uncommon) To render something more Jewish.

Mauschel

→ Italian: sene

Vulgar Latin: *senicus

Aromanian: sinrecu

Neapolitan: sanice (Old Abruzzese)

Occitan: senec, sanec

Old Italian: senici

Romanian: sânec, sinec

PIE word
 *sénos
From Proto-Italic *seneks, from Proto-Indo-European *sénos (“old”). Sihler holds the former inflection to be a consonant stem *sē, senis, with some remodeled endings taken from the antonym iuvenis; others propose an o-stem *senos (but this leaves the remade nominative singular less clearly motivated).
Nonetheless, the apparent discrepancy between the nominative senex and the oblique root sen- may reflect a Proto-Italic root *seneɣ-, which in Old Latin would yield senex in the nominative and *seneh- (later contracted to sen-) in the oblique. Cognates include Lithuanian senis (“old man”), Ancient Greek ἕνος (hénos), Old Irish sen, Proto-Brythonic *hen, Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬥𐬀 (hana, “old”), Sanskrit सन (sána) and Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌽𐌴𐌹𐌲𐍃 (sineigs).

At quae fida fuit nulli, post victa senecta
ducit inops tremula stamina torta manu
firmaque conductis adnectit licia telis
tractaque de niveo vellere ducta putat.
Hanc animo gaudente vident iuvenumque catervae
Conmemorant merito tot mala ferre senem,
Hanc Venus exalto flentem sublimis Olympo

Spectat et, infidis quam sit acerba, monet.

See PL 210.54C and James J. Sheridan's stimulating observations on the Trinitarian grouping of Nature, Genius, and Truth (in his note on p. 218).

1985, Jan M. Ziolkowski, Alan of Lille's Grammar of Sex: The Meaning of Grammar to a Twelfth-century Intellectual, Medieval Academy of Amer, page 44

It is in Hastings' Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics: […]

a. 1977, Maulana Abdul Haq Vidyarthi, Allah, The Unique Name of God, A.A.I.I.L. (U.K.), page 47

In Indian religion, e.g., we meet with the trinitarian group of Brahmā, Śiva, and Viṣṇu, and in Egyptian religion with the trinitarian group of Osiris, Isis, and Horus,

[…] The ancient Egyptians believed in the Trinitarian group of Osiris, Isis and Horus while the Hindus had Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and the later Christians described God as God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

2010, Ebrahim Kazim, Scientific Commentary of Suratul Faateḥah, Pharos Media & Publishing

[…] singularity is transformed into the trinitarian triad of abstract unity (universality), differentiation (particularity and finite singularity), and return (infinite singularity),

(uncommon) Of or pertaining to a trinity, a group of three (almost exclusively when compared to the Christian Trinity).

From Middle English beef, bef, beof, borrowed from Anglo-Norman beof, Old French buef, boef (“ox”) (modern French bœuf); from Latin bōs (“ox”), from Proto-Italic *gʷōs, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷṓws. Doublet of cow.
Beef in the sense of “a grudge, argument” was originally an American slang expression:
* attested as a verb “to complain” in 1888: “He'll beef an' kick like a steer an' let on he won't never wear 'em.”— New York World, 13 May;
* attested as a noun “complaint, protest, grievance, sim.” in 1899: “He made a Horrible Beef because he couldn't get Loaf Sugar for his Coffee.”—Fables in Slang (1900) by George Ade, page 80.
As to the possible origin of this American usage, it has been suggested that it can be traced back to a British expression for “alarm”, first recorded in 1725: "BEEF 'to alarm, as To cry beef upon us; they have discover'd us, and are in Pursuit of us". The term "beef" in this context would be a Cockney rhyming slang of thief. The continuous use of a similar expression, including its assumed semantic shift to 'complaint' in the United States from the 1880s onwards, needs further clarification though.

Do you want to raise beeves?

263. If he [one to whom a beef or sheep is loaned] ruins the beef or sheep that was loaned him, he is to return to the owner a beef for a beef and a sheep for a sheep.

doublet

Thoughts, my mindes creatures, often are with thee, / But I, their maker, want their libertie.

Must not then all understanding Creatures center in their Creator, as in the highest and best of Beings? And must not this Creator then be eſſentially God? What Infatuation then is it, that leads Men to think of a Creature-Creator?

1718, John CLAGGETT, Arianism Anatomized: or, Animadversions on Mr. Thomas Chubb's book, intitled, The Supremacy of the Father asserted, etc, page 35

For the creature tends to close union with the Creator, and union alone is the perfection of all true worship.

1857, Frederick William Faber, The Creator and the Creature: Or the Wonders of Divine Love, page 92

We are creatures of a good, beneficent and loving Creator. We are made by this good God for Himself.

1878, Mary (the virgin.), Spiritual exercises of Mary, revised by the bp. of Nottingham [E.G. Bagshawe]., page 194

They only mean that we are creatures and not God. Unlike the Creator, we creatures do not live forever. Real evil enters the picture when we refuse to accept the finitude of human life […]

1994 January 1, Shirley C. Guthrie, Christian Doctrine, Westminster John Knox Press, page 169

Several aspects of the creature-Creator relation can be drawn from Rom 1:18–32 and other Pauline texts. First, the relation between man-as-creature and God-the-Creator is more than a “static/positional” reality.

2020 August 28, Samuel D. Ferguson, The Spirit and Relational Anthropology in Paul, Mohr Siebeck, page 98

Unknown. One proposed source is Ancient Greek ἀναβάτης (anabátēs, “mounted one, horseman, rider”). Another proposed source is the Celtic language Gaulish, from an unattested compound word derived from the same root as Indo-Iranian *andʰás (“blind, dark”) combined with a second element that could either be related to battuo or derive from Proto-Indo-European *gʷeh₂- (“to go”), which gave rise in some Celtic languages to words related to death such as Old Irish atbaill (“perish, die”).

As soon as the corpse was placed on the pile, and some prayers muttered by the attendant Bramin, fire was set to it at one of the corners, and the wood being dry, and in great quantity, it soon blazed up and consumed the body to ashes, without any noisome smell, such as however does not unfrequently happen if there is a scant of wood, or rain intervenes to damp it.

1757, John-Henry Grose, A voyage to the East-Indies, with observations on various parts there, page 360

I was greatly surprised, however, in this very fertile and abundant country, to find so great a scant of provisions in the inns.

1831, Derwent Conway, Switzerland, the South of France and the Pyrenees, page 224

Even if labour were diverted to a great extent from our grand staple, the cotton manufacture, we are not prepared to admit that the country would be worse off. The worst that could happen in such a case would be, that for a few years, during the inordinate progress of railways, our population would run short of shirts and shifts. If the woollen manufacture be the theme, there would be a scant of coats and petticoats; or if the earthenware manufacture, there must be fewer teapots and pipkins.

Malice and prejudice concurred in representing the Christians as a society of atheists, who, by the most daring attack on the religious constitution of the empire, had merited the severest animadversion of the civil magistrate.

1840, Edward Gibbon, chapter 16, in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, new edition, volume 1, page 183

An atheist is just somebody who feels about Yahweh the way any decent Christian feels about Thor or Baal or the golden calf. As has been said before, we are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

2002 February, Richard Dawkins, Richard Dawkins on militant atheism, via TED

Throughout history, atheists were simply people who did not believe the prevalent God of the day. For the sun-worshippers, Christians were atheists. For Jewish people, Christians were atheists. Whoever does not believe in your God is by definition, an atheist. […] With all the countless Gods concocted by man, I claim that my Christian friends and I have something in common.

The habergeon is the mail in this case, and the hauberk is of plate or splint armour, while the cote-armoure is the surcoat, possibly thickly padded, as in the still-existing surcoat of the Black Prince.

1898, John Starkie Gardner, Armour in England from the Earliest Times to the Seventeenth Century, page 40

One, which was destined later to usurp the field completely, consisted of a sleeved mail or scale hauberk, probably of eastern, Iranian, origin, descending to the knees.

1929, Yale University, The Excavations at Dura-Europos: Conducted by Yale University and the French Academy of Inscriptions and Letters; Preliminary Report of 1st- Season of Work ..., page 451

In Demetrios ' portrait, the saint wears a lamellar hauberk and a long surcoat over ornately patterned leggings. The painter has added an unusual element to the composition - a scarf tied around the horse's head […]

Because the call to arms had come so quickly, he'd not had time to don his chain-mail armor, only a light, plate hauberk that covered his shoulders and torso.

2008, Robyn Young, Crusade, Penguin, page 460

The plate hauberk did not restrict his movements in the slightest, and he didn't feel weighed down as he did in Taraq'nok's chain mail.

2012, Martin Parece, The Cor Chronicles Volumes I, II & III, Lulu.com, page 240

Fitted perfectly for her, it consisted of a simple plate hauberk and legguards, plate armguards and sabatons with chain mail underneath. She had discarded the chain mail early, much to Parol's consternation, […]

objurgation

Wild man Murphy, said, "that the people of the 'Mormon' Church did not regard the objurgation of 'damn' as swearing, but only as common-place slang."

1921, The Latter-Day Saints’ Millennial Star, volume 83, page 660

Unknown fronds of trees arched over him, brushing his face, while cobbles punctuated the rubber wheels of some dark ambulance full of metal and other dark bodies, whose talk was of limbo — a repulsive yelping streaked with Arabic objurgations.

Stark flinched and fired, and he wished, instead, that he’d held the revolver in the kid’s face, telling the frightened boy to drop his rifle in the loudest, deepest, daddiest voice he could muster.

2006, Barth Anderson, The Patron Saint of Plagues, Bantam Spectra, page 105

Curiously, many of the younger dads were more comfortable saying that they listen to dad rock, while older dads were more defensive about it, despite pledging allegiance to some of the daddiest classic rock dinosaurs in the history of dads.

2014 June 16, Zach Schonfeld, “We Interviewed a Ton of Dads About Dad Rock”, in Vice, archived from the original on 2019-05-28

2015, Ferrett Steinmetz [pen name; William Steinmetz], The Flux, Angry Robot

The only music we had besides the radio were three songs Jordan had downloaded to his phone: Billy Joel’s “Vienna,” Bob Seger’s “We’ve Got Tonight,” and Bad Company’s “Bad Company”—the daddiest of all dad rock, but our only reprieve during the long stretches of static.

2017, Erin Chack, This Is Really Happening, Razorbill, page 80

mimophant

Blend of mimosa + elephant, coined by Arthur Koestler in 1972.

Sunday, 16th June [1985]...Nico has invented a portmanteau word which applies to people like Garrett and Derek Hill, who are keenly sensitive about their own feelings while treading on the toes of others. It is ‘mimophant’. The mimosa is reputed to curl up when touched; the elephant - well!

2003, James Lees-Milne, Beneath A Waning Moon; Diaries, 1985–1987, page 31

In Rejkjavik to cover the match, the novelist Arthur Koestler famously coined the neologism "mimophant" to describe Fischer. "A mimophant is a hybrid species: a cross between a mimosa and an elephant. A member of this species is sensitive like a mimosa where his own feelings are concerned and thick-skinned like an elephant trampling over the feelings of others."

2004, David Edmonds, John Eidinow, Bobby Fischer Goes To War, page 24

He [Massinger] inherits the traditions of conduct, female chastity, hymeneal sanctity, the fashion of honour, without either criticizing or informing them from his own experience. In the earlier drama these conventions are merely a framework, or an alloy necessary for working the metal; the metal itself consisted of unique emotions resulting inevitably from the circumstances, resulting or inhering as inevitably as the properties of a chemical compound.

Oh, I, well, I too fell into error, for I frittered away my morning in stalking yonder exaltation of larks, thinking they were dunlin, and in doing so disturbed the only sord of mallards on the whole marsh.

1893 September 27, The Bazaar, the Exchange and Mart, London, page 800, column 3

In a sense, the editorial cartoons were correct when they suggested that an exaltation of larks can fly under the influence into an aspect of vulturous behavior.

It is said that an exaltation of larks, which had assembled on the roof of Francis's hut, suddenly—and inexplicably—took to the air just after sunset, wheeling and singing.

From Medieval Latin pica (“pica: a service book”), possibly from Latin pīca (“magpie”) after the piebald appearance of the typeset page (cf. pie (“disordered type”)).
