kickshawn.

Brit.

/ˈkɪkʃɔː/, U.S.

/ˈkɪkˌʃɔ/,

/ˈkɪkˌʃɑ/

Forms: α. singular 1500s–1700s (in 1600s plural) quelque chose; plural 1600s quel- que(s)-, quelk-, kick-choses, quelque choices; kicke-shoses, -chawses. β. plural 1500s–1600s kick-shawes, 1600s kicshoes, kick-shose, -shoes, -showes, -shores, -shews, -chawes, ( quick-chaws); kek-, kecshose, ke(c)k-, queck-shoes; 1600s– kickshaws. γ. singular 1600s– kickshaw.

Etymology: < French quelque chose something. The original French spelling was frequent in the 17th cent., but the commonest forms follow the pronunciation que'que chose formerly regarded as elegant, and still current in colloquial French. The word was sometimes correctly taken as singular, with plural -choses, etc.; more commonly it was treated as a plural, and a singular kickshaw afterwards formed from it.

1. A fancy dish in cookery. (Chiefly with contemptuous force: A ‘something’ French, not one of the known ‘substantial English’ dishes.)
