wiederkom|ˈviːdəkɒm|
Also wiederkomm and with capital initial.
[ad. F. vidrecome goblet (Robert, 1752), ult. ad. G. wiederkommen to return, come again (see quots.).]
A tall, cylindrical, German drinking-vessel, made of (usu. coloured or painted) glass.
The Eng. form reflects the original Ger. derivation. F. vidrecome is sometimes understood as a fanciful corruption of G. willkomm loving-cup, but this suggestion appears to be unsubstantiated.
