devil's-bitn.

Brit.

/ˈdɛvlz bɪt/, U.S.

/ˈdɛv(ə)lz ˌbɪt/

Forms: Middle English deueles bitte, Middle English deuels bete, Middle English deues bite (transmission error), 1500s deuels bit, 1500s deuylles bytte, 1500s devils bite, 1500s–1600s deuils bit, 1600s diuels bit, 1600s– devils bit, 1700s devil's bitt, 1700s devils bitt, 1700s divils bitt, 1700s– devil's bit.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: devil n., bit n.¹

Etymology: < the genitive of devil n. + bit n.¹, after post-classical Latin morsus diaboli, lit. ‘devil's bite’ (14th cent. in British sources, probably earliest in sense ‘devil's-bit scabious’); in the case of each plant, apparently so called because the root has the appearance of having been bitten off underground (compare quot. 1600 at sense 2).With sense 2 compare Dutch duivelsbeet (1554 in Dodoens), German Teufelsabbiss (1554 in Dodoens), †Teufelsbiss (a1590).

†1. Autumn hawkbit, Scorzoneroides autumnalis (formerly Leontodon autumnalis), a perennial herbaceous plant with dandelion-like yellow flowers and a root which terminates abruptly. In later use in full yellow devil's-bit. Obsolete.Early uses in which devil's bit is used as a gloss for Latin morsus diaboli, e.g. quots. ?c1425, a1500, may instead show sense 2; cf. discussion of the Latin in the etymology.
