dogwatchn.

Brit.

/ˈdɒɡwɒtʃ/, U.S.

/ˈdɔɡˌwɔtʃ/,

/ˈdɑɡˌwɑtʃ/

Forms: 1600s doggs-watch, 1700s– dogwatch.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Dutch lexical item. Etymons: dog n.¹, watch n.

Etymology: < dog n.¹ + watch n., originally after either Dutch hondenwacht, hondewacht the second watch on board ship, lasting from 12 p.m. until 4 a.m. (1601 or earlier) or German Hundewache in similar use (1692 or earlier as †Hundewacht: see quot. 1700 at sense 1); the watch was probably so called because on land this was the period when the household slept and only the dog kept guard.The transferred use in English may have been motivated or reinforced by association with the proverbially short or light sleep of a dog (compare dogsleep n.). An explanation as a folk-etymological alteration of a supposed expression *docked watch probably shows a later rationalization.

1. Nautical. A short watch of two hours' duration instead of the usual four, from 4.00–6.00 p.m. or 6.00–8.00 p.m., that enables the turn of the night watch to be changed every twenty-four hours; = dog n.¹ 15.In quot. 1700 the word probably shows the same meaning as in German and Dutch, denoting the second watch on board ship, lasting from 12 p.m. until 4 a.m. (see etymology).
