arointaroyntv.

Brit.

/əˈrɔɪnt/, U.S.

/əˈrɔɪnt/

Etymology: Origin unknown. Used by Shakespeare, whence by some modern writers.The origin of Shakespeare's aroynt has been the subject of numerous conjectures, none of which can be said to have even a prima facie probability. (Compare also arunt v.) The following passages are usually cited as pointing to the same word: Ray North C. Wds. (1691) has: Ryntye, by your leave, stand handsomely. As ‘Rynt you, witch, quoth Bessie Locket to her mother’; Proverb. Cheshire. Thoresby Lett. to Ray 1703 (Yorkshire Words) has: ‘Ryndta, used to cows to make them give way, and stand in their stalls or booyses.’ In parts of Cheshire (and ? Lancashire) ou/aʊ/ is pronounced ī, ȳ /aɪ/—i.e. /aʊ/ has been umlauted to /aʏ/, and delabialized to /aɪ/; elsewhere it is reduced to /aə/, /a(ə)/, or /aː/—so that round becomes rȳnd. Rynd-ta! is thus merely a local pronunciation of ‘round thee, = move round, move about!’ The local nature, the meaning, and form of the phrase, seem all opposed to its identity with Shakespeare's aroynt.

1. In aroint thee! (? verb in the imperative, or interjection) meaning apparently: Avaunt! Begone!
