Brit. /ˌkɒkəˈbɒndi/, U.S. /ˌkɑkəˈbɑndi/
Forms: 1800s cocce-bundy, 1800s coch-a-bondu, 1800s coch-y-bondu, 1800s cock-a-bundy, 1800s cock-y-bondhu, 1800s cocky-ban-du, 1800s–1900s coch-a-bondhu, 1800s–1900s cock-a-bondhu, 1800s–1900s cocker-bundy, 1800s– coch-a-bonddu, 1800s– coch-y-bonddu, 1800s– coch-y-bondhu, 1800s– cock-a-bondy, 1800s– cock-y-bonddu, 1900s coch-y-bonddhu, 1900s– cock-y-bondu, 1900s– coch-a-bon-ddu. Also as one word.
Origin: A borrowing from Welsh. Etymon: Welsh coch y bonddu.
Etymology: < Welsh coch y bonddu (1821; pronounced /kɔx ə bɔnði/) < coch red (see torgoch n.) + y the, of the + bonddu (perhaps < either bôn bottom, base (see note) or bond band ( < English) + -ddu , combining form of du black: see dhu stone n.).Welsh bôn is cognate with Early Irish bun bottom, base, and perhaps also related to Gaulish -bona (in place names); the further etymology is unknown. Forms with -a- reflect a Welsh variant coch a bonddu, which apparently shows substitution for the definite article y of either a ‘and’ or perhaps â ‘with’, all of which would be pronounced in the same way (/ə/) in this unstressed position.
1. Angling. Also with capital initial(s). An artificial fly intended to imitate or thought to resemble the garden chafer (see sense 2), typically dressed with a reddish hackle feather with a black base; (also) this type of feather.
