"kwikzand" meaning in Dutch

See kwikzand in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: kwikzanden [plural], kwikzandje [diminutive, neuter]
Etymology: Although Middle Dutch quicsant is attested, it is not clear whether there is a continuous relationship with Dutch kwikzand. Alternatively, the word may have been re-introduced by borrowing from English quicksand, or occasionally from Swedish kvicksand. Equivalent to kwik + zand. Compare kwikzilver. Etymology templates: {{inh|nl|dum|quicsant}} Middle Dutch quicsant, {{bor|nl|en|quicksand}} English quicksand, {{bor|nl|sv|kvicksand}} Swedish kvicksand, {{compound|nl|kwik|zand}} kwik + zand Head templates: {{nl-noun|n|-en|+}} kwikzand n (plural kwikzanden, diminutive kwikzandje n)
