hulln.²

Brit.

/hʌl/, U.S.

/həl/

Etymology: Of obscure origin: not known before c1550; possibly the same word as hull n.¹, but decisive evidence is wanting.It has been conjectured by some to be identical with the 15–16th cent. holl n. 2, corrupted as early as 1591 to hold n.²; but, beside the phonetic difficulty, this appears nearly always to mean the internal cavity of the ship (so Dutch scheepshol ; compare hole n. 6), and not to be applied like hull to the external framework. There is an equivalent sense of hulk n.², which, however, is not known before c1630, and thus does not help the explanation of hull. The following is apparently the only quot. which favours the connection of the word with holl, hole, hold.c1440 Promptorium Parvulorum 243/1 Hoole of a schyppe (K., P. holle), carina.

a. The body or frame of a ship, apart from the masts, sails, and rigging. Also of an airship, flying boat, etc.

This entry has not yet been fully updated (first published 1899; most recently modified version published online March 2022). hulln.² Brit. /hʌl/, U.S. /həl/ Etymology: Of obscure origin: not known before c1550; possibly the same word as hull n.¹, but decisive evidence is wanting.It has been conjectured by some to be identical with the 15–16th cent. holl n. 2, corrupted as early as 1591 to hold n.²; but, beside the phonetic difficulty, this appears nearly always to mean the internal cavity of the ship (so Dutch scheepshol ; compare hole n. 6), and not to be applied like hull to the external framework. There is an equivalent sense of hulk n.², which, however, is not known before c1630, and thus does not help the explanation of hull. The following is apparently the only quot. which favours the connection of the word with holl, hole, hold.c1440 Promptorium Parvulorum 243/1 Hoole of a schyppe (K., P. holle), carina. 1. a.
