PREFACE. 



The Etymological Dictionart of the Scottish 
Language, which was published in the year 1808, has 
been so favourably received, that although the impres- 
sion was large, a set is now rarely to be found ; and 
at any rate cannot be purchased at less than double 
the price paid by Subscribers. 

As many, who would wish to possess the original 
work, cannot now be supplied ; while it has still been 
out of the reach of others, not less interested in our 
national literature ; the Author has been advised to 
give it to the Public in an abridged form. 

He has followed the same plan with that of the 
abridgment of Dr Johnson's English Dictionary ; in 
giving all the terms contained in the larger work, in 
their various significations, the names of the writers 



VI PREFACE* 

by whom they are used, or the titles of the works in 
which they occur, and their derivations* In one in- 
stance only has he deviated from the plan of the great 
English Lexicographer, in placing the etymons after 
the definitions. This mode is undoubtedly the most 
simple ; as a reader, when looking into a Dictionary 
for the origin of a word with which he is familiar, or 
for the signification of one with which he is unac- 
quainted, must be supposed to turn his eye first to 
the definition, that he may know whether this is the 
word that he looks for, or whether, in the passage in 
which it has occurred, it can bear the sense there 
given, before he thinks of examining its origin, or can 
form any judgment as to the propriety of the etymon 
that may be offered. 

While this work contains a variety of words which 
are not to be found in the quarto edition, the Author 
flatters himself that he does not claim too much in sup- 
posing, that during ten years which have elapsed since 
it was published, he has had it in his power, from ma- 
ny sources formerly unexplored, to make considerable 
improvements both in the explanatory and in the ety- 
mological department. This, he trusts, will be evi- 
dent to any who will take the trouble to compare the 
one work with the other. 

In most instances, where he has met with new sig- 
nifications of the words explained in the larger work, 
he has inserted them in this, with their authorities. 
Such, indeed, is the copiousness of our vernacular Ian- 



PREFACE. VU 

guage, that he is far from pretending that he has had 
it in his power to give a complete view of it. From 
the recent publication of many of our old acts former* 
ly unprinted, from his own researches, and from the 
liberal communications both of friends and strangers, 
who have been anxious to render what they are plea- 
sed to consider a national work as complete as possible, 
the Author has been supplied with a great variety of 
terms which were formerly unknown to him. These 
he hopes to have it soon in his power to give to the 
public in an additional volume in quarto, in order to 
complete the former work. This, as far as he can cal- 
culate at present, will be equal in size to any of the 
preceding volumes.

AN 



ETYMOLOGICAL 



DICTIONARY 



OF THB 



SCOTTISH LANGUAGE. 



•^H£ letter A baa, in^tbe Scottish lan- 
guage, four different sounda : 

l.^broad,aain£.a/?,t0atf. IT^iaoften add- 
ed, as in caldt cold, written also ea^ld ; 
and flometimefl w ; both as marks pf tbe 
prolongation of the sound. 

2. A sJiort, in iai, makt tak, S. as in la^ 
pait, E. 

5. A open, in dadt daddie, a fiuher» an4 
some other words, S. as in £. read pret, 
reatfy adj. 

4. A slender or close, in iane, tUane, alope, 
manef moan, 8. liko^^ice^ place, £. Tlye 
monosjrllablcs have generally, altfiough 
not always, a final e quiescent. 

A is used in many words instead ofo in £• ; 
as awe^ hone, long, tang, Uane, for antf 
bane, long, songtttone. For the Scots pra- 
aenre nearly the same orthography with 
the Anglo-Saxons, which the English 
hare abandoned. Thus the words last 
mentioned were written in A. S. an, ban, 
l^figf tong, ttan. In some of the nordi- 
em counties, as in Angus and Meams, 
tbe sound dee or a prevails, instead of 
at, in varioua words of this formation. 
Awe, bane, stane, &fi, are pronounced ein, 
bein, afn'ii, after the manner of the Ger- 



mans, wbo xise each of these terms in the 
same sense. 

When this letter Is written with an apostro- 
phe, as a*, it is meant to intiooate that the 
double / is cut off, according to the prcH 
nunciation of Scotland. But this is mere- 
ly of modem use. 

A is sometimes prefixed to words, both in & 
and old E^ yrbere it nu^es no alteration 
of tbe sense ; as abode, delay, which has 
picdsely the same meaning with bade* 
This seems to have been borrowed from 
tbe A. Sn in ifbicb language abidan and 
bidan are perf^ly synonymous, both 
simply signifying, to remain, to tarry. 

A, in o>mposition, ^metimea signifies on ; 
as agrufe, on tbe grufe or belly, S. ; Isl. ^ 
gn{^ cemu^ prond. Johnson thinks that 
a, in the composition of such £. ifords gs 
ande, afoot, atleep, is sometimes contract- 
ed from at» But these r^mts are unques- 
tionably equivalent to o^ sUte,onfooi, on 
sleep i on being used, in tbe room of a, 
by ancient writer^. 

A is used, by our oldest writers, in the 
sense pf one. The signification is more 
forpiblp than that of the indefinite article 
in English; for it denotes, not merely an

.This was one of the Christmas sports ; 
and. as the andeoc Satumolia levelled 
all distinction of ranks, the design of this 
amusement was to ridicule the solenmity

with the Abbot of Misrule, and distin- 
guished in name only from the Boy* 
Bishop, characters formerly well known 
both in England and in France. The 
principal personage was denominated the 
Abbot of Unreason, because his actings

BED 

BEDDT, adj. ExpreasiTe of a quality in

ITataonU Coll. 
It may signify, attentive to the cry of 
the huntsman. Fr. bawU, *< a cry as

however, be the same word which oc- 
curs in the S. Ph>v. ; '* Breeding wives 
areay6Altfie;*' Kelly, p. 75. "Cove- 
tous of some silly things," N. In thiii 
sense it is probably allied to IsL beid-a, 
A. & bidd-an, Moes. G. bid-jan, Belg. 
bidd'-en, to ask, to supplicate, to solicit. 

BEDE, pret. OfTered ; from the v. Bin.

As belyvct very similar in sense, is 
undoubtedly the imperat of belff'-^Mt q.

ed in the same manner, from Germ.

BORROWING DAYS, the three last 
days of March, Old Stile, S. 

Complaynl S* 
These days being generally stormy, 
our forebthers have endeavoured to ac- 
count for this circumstance, by pre- 
tending that March borrowed them from 
April, that he might extend his power 
so much longer. Those who are much 
addicted to superstition vrill neither bor- 
row nor lend on any of these days; 
lest the articles borrowed should be em- 
ployed for the purposes of witchcraft, 
against the lenders. Some of the vul- 
gar imagine, that these days received 
their designation from the conduct of 
the Israelites in borrowing the property 
of the Egyptians.

This letter, as occurring in the beginning 
of words, cannot. In many insunces, be 
▼iewed as a radical. While prefixed in 
some Goth, dialects, it was thrown away 
in others; especially before k. The 
same term sometimes appears with t, 
and sometimes without it ; as in cry and 
say : creek of day, and $kreek, St is 
often used by our old writers as the 
mark of the pi.; as, horts for hortit, 
horses.

T consonant corresponds to A.S.G before 
a TOweL This has generally in S. been 
printed 3, from the resemblance of the 
A,S, letter to the form of the Roman 
5, although there is not tiie least affi- 
nity as to power. 

■This, I apprehend, must be ascribed to 
the inaccuracy, or to the ignorance of 
the writers or copyists of MSS., who, 
misled by the rery near resem blance of 
the letters, substituted the long a, or 3, 
fortheA.S.g.
