goat's footn.

Brit.

/ˈɡəʊts fʊt/, U.S.

/ˈɡoʊts ˌfʊt/

Forms: 1700s– goat's foot, 1600s–1700s goats foot, 1600s goates foote.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: goat n., foot n.

Etymology: < the genitive of goat n. + foot n. In sense 1 after Middle French pié de chièvre (1410 in this sense; French pied de chèvre ). In sense 2 after scientific Latin pes caprae, specific epithet, respectively in Convulvulus pes-caprae (now Ipomoea pes-caprae : see sense 2a) and Oxalis pes-caprae (see sense 2b; Linnaeus Species plantarum (1753) I. 159, 434). Compare goat-feet n. and adj. at goat n. and adj. Compounds 3a and goat-foot adj. and n. at goat n. and adj. Compounds 3a.

1. A device for levering or lifting thought to resemble the foot of a goat; esp. a device used for drawing a crossbow, consisting of a pair of claws which hook on to the string and a levering mechanism by which the string is drawn back to the nut (nut n.¹ 18a). In later use usually more fully goat's foot lever. Cf. gaffle n. 1. Now chiefly historical.The device for drawing a crossbow was developed in the 14th cent. and usually made wholly of metal, typically steel. In warfare it was frequently used by mounted crossbowmen because it was lighter and easier to operate than most other bow-drawing devices of the period.
