Origin: Apparently formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: acquaint v., -ant suffix¹.

Etymology: Apparently < acquaint v. + -ant suffix¹, perhaps arising from reanalysis of acquaintance n. 2b (in spoken contexts) as the plural of a noun in -ant suffix¹. Compare Middle French acointant , acoinctant (of a woman) inclined to seek the company of men (15th cent. in an isolated attestation), (of a perfume) aphrodisiac (16th cent.). Compare earlier acquaint n., acquaintance n. 2, acquainted n.

Now rare.
