hurdsn.

Brit.

/həːdz/, U.S.

/hərdz/

Forms: (Chiefly in plural form)

α. early Old English herdu, early Old English herdun, Old English heordan (inflected form), Old English heorþana (genitive plural, perhaps transmission error), Old English heorþena (genitive plural, perhaps transmission error), Middle English heerdes, Middle English heorden, Middle English herd (singular), Middle English herdde (singular), Middle English herdes, Middle English herdis, Middle English herdys, Middle English hurde (singular), Middle English hurden, Middle English hurdenne, Middle English hvrden, Middle English hyrden, Middle English hyrdys, Middle English–1500s heerdis, Middle English–1500s hyrdys, Middle English–1600s hurdes, 1500s hyrdes, 1500s hyrdis, 1500s–1600s hirds, 1500s– hurds, 1800s– huerds (English regional (Cheshire)), 1800s– yerds (English regional (Cheshire)); Scottish pre-1700 herdis, 1800s herd (singular); N.E.D. also records forms Middle English hyrdes, Middle English hyrdis.

β. late Middle English–1500s hardis, late Middle English–1500s hardys, late Middle English–1600s hardes, 1500s– hards Brit. /hɑːdz/, U.S. /hɑrdz/ (now chiefly historical and regional); Scottish pre-1700 hardes, pre-1700 hardis, pre-1700 1700s– hards; N.E.D. also records a form Middle English hards. Early Old English herdun at α. forms is recorded in MS Karlsruhe Aug. 135 (54) (first half of the 10th cent.), copied by a foreign scribe, and may not be fully English in form.

Origin: Apparently a word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Apparently cognate with early modern Dutch hērde , heerde (1599 in Kiliaan; Dutch (now regional: East Flanders) heerd ), and further with West Frisian hjidde , East Frisian (Saterland) hēde , North Frisian (Sylt) Hiiđ , Middle Dutch hēde (Dutch hede , (Friesland) hiede ), Middle Low German hēde (German regional (Low German) hēde , hēden , heen ; > German Hede ), and (with assimilation of consonants and apparently with different ablaut grade) Old Icelandic haddr woman's long hair, as well as (with different suffixation) Old High German har , haro (Middle High German har , German (now rare) Haar ), Old Icelandic hǫrr , all in sense ‘flax’, and perhaps Old Frisian hēr , in uncertain sense (perhaps ‘flax’), and further with the Indo-European base of Early Irish cír comb, rake, Old Church Slavonic česati to scratch, to tickle, Old Russian česati to scratch, to comb (Russian česat′ ), Lithuanian kastis (reflexive) to dig, kasyti to scratch gently, and perhaps also of Hellenistic Greek κέσκεον coarser parts of flax or hemp. Compare harden n. and see discussion at that entry.In Old English usually a weak noun and usually assumed to be feminine (i.e. heorde (plural heordan )); the isolated early form herdu perhaps represents a strong feminine. Some details of the early history of the stem vowel in English are uncertain, although the attested forms apparently developed from early Old English short e . The modern English forms can all be explained as showing reflexes of Middle English short e ; the forms hurds and hirds at α. forms probably show inverted spellings. The β. forms apparently reflect regular late Middle English lowering of short e to a before r . The form yerds shows the development of a palatal on-glide. N.E.D. (1898) enters this word under the double headword hards, hurds and gives the pronunciation as (hāɹdz, hɒ̄ɹdz) /hɑːdz/, /hɜːdz/.

Usually with plural agreement. The coarser parts of flax or hemp; = tow n.¹ 3. Sometimes: spec. the coarsest grade of tow.In early use occasionally with reference to use as kindling (cf. e.g. quots. eOE², c1384 at α. ).
