coalmousen.

Brit.

/ˈkəʊlmaʊs/, U.S.

/ˈkoʊlˌmaʊs/

Forms:

α. early Old English cummase (perhaps transmission error), Old English colmase, late Middle English colemose, late Middle English collemase, late Middle English–1500s colmose.

β. 1500s coldmouse, 1500s–1600s colmouse, 1600s–1800s coalmouse, 1600s– colemouse.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Middle Dutch coolmese , coolmees , coolmeeus (Dutch koolmees ), Middle High German kolmeis (German Kohlmeise ) < the Germanic base of coal n. + the Germanic base of mose n., with reference to the black markings of the various birds so denoted. The β. forms show folk-etymological remodelling of the second element after mouse n. when the simplex mose n. had become obsolete. Compare similarly titmouse n. In sense 2 used to translate Latin alcedo halcyon (see halcyon n. and adj.), apparently by some confusion (compare colmow n.).The Old English form cummāse (one isolated attestation: see quot. eOE at sense 1), if not simply a transmission error, perhaps shows assimilation of stem-final l to the following m . Because the quot. appears to differentiate between the meaning of the two forms cummāse and colmāse , the former has sometimes been treated as a different word, showing a first element of uncertain origin; however, it is more likely to show an error which arose in the course of the compilation of the Cleopatra Gloss. from different sources. N.E.D. (1891) notes of sense 1 that the name is ‘still very commonly spelt colemouse’, but after about 1840 it seems to have been largely displaced by coal tit and coal titmouse except in regional use.

1. Originally: any of several titmice with black markings, as the great tit, Parus major. In later use: spec. the coal tit, Periparus (or Parus) ater. Now English regional and archaic.In Old English the word frequently renders classical Latin parra (see discussion at parid n.) and its diminutive parrula, and sometimes also post-classical Latin bardioriolus, a bird name of uncertain and disputed meaning and origin.
