colt-pixien.

Forms: Also 1500s colle-, coll-, 1700s–1800s -pixy, -piskie.

Etymology: see pixie n.; the first element has been supposed to be the same as in cole-prophet n.; but the antiquity of the popular notion that it is colt appears to be supported by Drayton Nymphidia: ‘This Puck is but a dreaming dolt, Still walking like a ragged colt, Of purpose to deceive us.’

A mischievous sprite or fairy, formerly believed in, in the south and south-west of England.
