Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: dog n.¹, in prep., the adj., manger n.¹

Etymology: < dog n.¹ + in prep. + the adj. + manger n.¹In allusion to the fable of the dog that stationed himself in a manger and would not let the ox or horse eat the hay. The fable is attributed to Aesop, but is only found in the Aesop corpus in medieval Greek or modern Greek ( Proverbia 74 κύων ἀναπεσὼν εἰς ϕάτνην αὐτός τε οὐκ ἐσθίει τῷ τε ὄνῳ ἐμποδίζει, ‘the dog getting into the manger does not eat himself but prevents the ass from eating’). It is recorded in Hellenistic Greek in Lucian Timon 14 (καθάπερ τὴν ἐν τῇ ϕάτνῃ κύνα μήτε αὐτὴν ἐσθίουσαν τῶν κριθῶν μήτε τῷ ἵππῳ πεινῶντι ἐπιτρέπουσαν, ‘like the dog in the manger, that would neither eat the barley himself, nor suffer the half-starved horse to feed on it’). Compare post-classical Latin canis in praesepi, literally ‘dog in the manger’ (Erasmus Adagia (a1536) I. x. xiii.). For earlier occurrence of the proverb in English compare: ▸ a1393 J. Gower Confessio Amantis (Fairf.) ii. l. 85 Thogh it be noght the houndes kinde To ete chaf, yit wol he werne An Oxe, which comth to the berne, Therof to taken eny fode.1559 W. Bavand tr. J.
