cock's treadn.

Brit.

/ˈkɒks trɛd/, U.S.

/ˈkɑks ˌtrɛd/

Forms:

α. 1600s cocks tread, 1700s–1800s cock's tread.

β. 1600s– cock-tread.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: cock n.¹, tread n.

Etymology: Partly (in α. forms) < the genitive of cock n.¹ + tread n. Partly (in β. forms) < cock n.¹ + tread n. Compare earlier cock treading n. Compare also German Hahnen-tritt, which shows similar semantic motivation.

Now rare.

An opaque, whitish spot in a fowl's egg; spec. the germinal disc, previously thought to indicate that the egg had been fertilized. Cf. cock treading n.
