Junkern.¹

Brit.

/ˈjʊŋkə/, U.S.

/ˈjəŋkər/

Forms: 1800s– junker, 1800s– yunker.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Russian. Partly a borrowing from German. Etymons: Russian junker, German Junker.

Etymology: < (i) Russian junker junior officer (early 18th cent.), officer cadet (1864 or earlier), and its etymon (ii) German Junker (in Prussia) landholder (19th cent. or earlier), (derogatory) member of the conservative political party in Prussia, representing landholders and the nobility (1848 or earlier), officer cadet (19th cent. or earlier), specific uses of Junker young nobleman (already in Middle High German: see younker n.), which was also used as a form of respectful address more generally (16th cent.). Compare earlier younker n. and the Germanic parallels cited at that entry.The form yunker illustrates the pronunciation of the initial consonant and (in sense 1) also reflects an alternative transliteration of the Russian word.

Now historical.

1. In Imperial Russia: a junior officer; (later) an officer cadet.
