ouchen.Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French nusche. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman and Old French nusche (c1100; also in Anglo-Norman as nouche , nuche , nuesche , ouche , and in Old French as noche , noische , nosce , nosche ) clasp, buckle, fibula, brooch < a form in a Germanic language cognate with Middle Dutch nuchssce (transmission error for *nusche ), Middle Low German nusche , Old High German nusca , nuska (Middle High German nusche , nuske , German (now historical) Nusche , Nüsche ), Langobardic nuska , nuskja clasp, buckle, fibula, brooch < a suffixed form of the Indo-European base of net n.1 The exact form of the immediate etymon of the French word is uncertain: see further Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch at *nuska. Compare post-classical Latin nusca (frequently from 11th cent. in continental sources, from 12th cent. in British sources; also as nochia , nosca , nuchia , nuschia ), and ( < French) Old Occitan nosca (c1235). The β. forms show metanalysis (see N n.); compare Anglo-Norman ouche, apparently with absorption of n- when preceded by the indefinite article.The α. forms are only recorded in historical contexts after the 16th cent. N.E.D. (1903) gave the headword form as ouch , but what little modern evidence there is for the singular form points to ouche (compare quot. 1848 at sense 1β. , although there is sporadic evidence for the singular form owch ); most modern examples are in the plural form ouches , which could correspond to either ouch or ouche as the singular form. It is unclear whether early examples such as the following are to be interpreted as Middle English or Anglo-Norman:1317 in H. T.
