jennetn.¹

Brit.

/ˈdʒɛnɪt/, U.S.

/ˈdʒɛnət/

Forms: α. Middle English–1500s genett, 1500s gynnet, 1500s–1600s ginnet, 1500s–1700s gennet(te, 1500s–1800s genet, 1600s ganet, 1600s–1800s ginet, 1700s gennett. β. Middle English iennet(te, 1500s ienete, ienate, iannet, ionet, 1500s–1600s ienet(t, 1600s– jennet.

Etymology: < French genet (in 15th cent. also ginet ) in same sense, < Spanish jinete , †ginete , ‘a light horseman that rideth a la gineta ’ (French à la genette ), i.e. ‘with the legs trussed vp in short stirrups, with a target and a ginnet launce’ (Minsheu, 1599). In French and English (also in Italian gianetto (masculine), gianetta feminine) transferred from the horseman to his horse, a sense unknown to Spanish dictionaries until quite recently. The Spanish use appears in sense 2, which is however later in English. Dozy derives the Spanish word from Arabic Zenāta ‘a great Berber nation noted for the valour of its cavalry’; other conjectures have been made.

1. A small Spanish horse.
