idgetn.

Brit.

/ˈɪdʒᵻt/, U.S.

/ˈɪdʒᵻt/

Forms: 1800s– edget, 1800s– idget, 1800s– idiot, 1800s– idjit.

Origin: Of unknown origin. Etymons: nidget n.², edge v.², -et suffix¹.

Etymology: Origin unknown, as is the original form of the word. Perhaps a variant (with metanalysis: see N n.) of nidget n.² Alternatively, it has been suggested that the word may derive < edge v.² + -et suffix¹, but this is difficult to reconcile with the apparent dominance of spellings with initial i-.

English regional (southern and south-western). Now rare.

1875 W. D. Parish Dict. Sussex Dial. 61 Idget,..a horse hoe; called also a nidget or edget.

1876 G. L. Gower Surrey Provincialisms in W. W. Skeat Orig. Gloss. III. 88 Edget, a term of husbandry. An implement used in the cultivation of hops. It is drawn by one horse, and passes between the rows to clean the ground. Called also idget and nidget.

1891 R. P. Chope Dial. Hartland, Devonshire 52 Idjit, a particular form of cultivator. It consists of a square frame, which carries 16 tings (tines) having small triangular feet. It has no wheels, and is drawn from one corner. It is a modern implement, but I think it is only made by local smiths.
