pickle-herringn.

Brit.

/ˈpɪklhɛrɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈpɪk(ə)lˌ(h)ɛrɪŋ/

Forms: see pickle n.¹ and herring n. Also (in sense 2) with capital initial.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pickle n.¹, herring n.

Etymology: < pickle n.¹ + herring n. Compare Dutch pekelharing (1567 as peeckel-harinck ), Middle Low German pēkelhērinc , pickelhērinc , German Pickelhering (1618 or earlier; < German regional (Low German)). Compare later pickled herring n. at pickled adj. Compounds.The word was apparently used as a nickname by several early comic entertainers (compare quot. 1716-20 at sense 2); its earliest attestation as such is in a German document of 1615 which refers to the English musician and entertainer George Vincent, who was at the time travelling in Europe, as ‘Georg Vincint alias Pickelhering’ (see Shakespeare Survey 36(1983) 139). The comic character Pickelhering quickly became a stock figure in German farce (compare Ein lustig Pickelherings Spiel von der schönen Maria und alten Hanrey(1620), Engelische Comedien und Tragedien..sampt dem Pickelhering(1620)), and German Pickelhering had acquired the generic sense ‘clown’ by the mid 17th cent.; compare also Dutch pekelharing (1637), Swedish pickelhäring (1665), in the same sense. Some English examples at sense 2 may be secondary borrowings from German or Dutch. Attested slightly earlier as a surname: Hans Pekilheryng (1458–60).

1. A pickled herring. Now rare.
