Middle English–1600s kerchef, (Middle English kercheff(e, plural kercheves, 1500s kerchefe, kercheife), Middle English–1500s kerchif, (Middle English kerchife, 1500s–1600s kerchiffe, 1700s kertchiff), Middle English– kerchief, (1500s plural kerchievis); also Middle English keercheef, kyrchef(fe, 1500s kar-, car-, c(h)arschaffe. γ.

Etymology: Middle English curchef and kerchef , syncopated forms of coverchef and keverchef, respectively < Old French couvrechief and cuevrechief , in Anglo-Norman also courchief : see coverchief n., and, for the vowel difference, cover v.1 In northern Middle English coverchef , curchef and curch n. were typical, while keverchef , kerchef , and kercher n. were (like kever) midland or southern. From kerchef came also the obsolete local variants kirchef, karchef, while the plural kerchevis apparently gave rise to the forms ending in -ew, -o(w, -u, etc. The form kerchy is still used in some dialects.
