Merovingianadj.n.

Brit.

/ˌmɛrə(ʊ)ˈvɪn(d)ʒɪən/, U.S.

/ˌmɛrəˈvɪndʒ(i)ən/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French Mérovingien.

Etymology: < French Mérovingien (1583 in Middle French as Merovingiens , plural noun) < post-classical Latin Merovingi (plural noun) the dynasty of Clovis I (c466–511) (7th cent.; < a Frankish compound of the name of Clovis's grandfather Merowig or Merovech (post-classical Latin Merovechus in Gregory of Tours), semi-legendary 5th-cent. king of the Salian Franks + the reflex of the Germanic base of -ing suffix³) + French -ien -ian suffix.Compare Old English Merewīoing (noun) Merovingian, attested once in the following quot.:OE Beowulf 2921 Us wæs a syððan Merewioingas milts [MS mere wio ingasmilts] ungyfeðe. This form perhaps represents an early borrowing direct from post-classical Latin, with the ending partly remodelled after -ing suffix³ (and in the quot. with genitive singular ending -as for -es ); however, the reading has been disputed (partly as expected Old English forms would be *Merewing or *Meorowing ), and the following emendations have been suggested: Merewigingas , genitive singular of the otherwise unattested *Merewīging Merovingian ( < an Old English form of the name of Merowig + -ing suffix³); or merewicingas , genitive singular of the otherwise unattested *merewīcing sea-viking ( < mere n.¹ + Old English wīcing (see Viking n.)).
