puttockn.¹

Brit.

/ˈpʌtək/, U.S.

/ˈpədək/

Forms: early Middle English puttoc, late Middle English potok, late Middle English puttoke, late Middle English (1900s– English regional (Northumberland)) puttok, late Middle English–1600s puttocke, late Middle English– puttock, 1800s puddock (English regional (midlands)), 1800s puttuck (English regional (Suffolk)); Scottish 1800s puttick, 1800s– puttock, 1900s– puddock (rare).

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < the reflex of an unattested Old English *putta hawk, of uncertain origin (see note) + -ock suffix. Compare earlier pittel n.The existence of Old English *putta is perhaps implied by the Old English personal name Putta ; it is probably also seen (with i-mutation) in the first element of pittel n. It has been suggested that Old English *putta , with the meaning ‘hawk’, is an early borrowing of classical Latin būteō buzzard, kind of hawk (see buzzard n.¹), but this is difficult to explain phonologically, and no parallels exist in other Germanic languages. Attested earlier as a byname and surname: Ælfricus Puttuc (1034), Aluied Pottoch (1066), Edricus puttuc (1148), Iohannes Puttok (1176); also attested early in place names, as Puttokescumbe (1238; now Pittescombe, Devon), Puttekesham (1318; now Pudsham, Devon), although these may reflect the Old English byname.

1. A bird of prey, esp. the red kite ( Milvus milvus) and the buzzard ( Buteo buteo). Now English regional and Scottish. rare.

puttockn.²

Brit.

/ˈpʌtək/, U.S.

/ˈpədək/

Forms: Middle English putok, Middle English puttok, 1500s potok, 1500s– puttock, 1600s puttack, 1600s puttick.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown. An etymology has been suggested < Middle Dutch poot, pote or Middle Low German pōte, both in sense ‘foot’ (for both, see paw n.¹) + -ock suffix, or perhaps < an (apparently unrecorded) parallel formation in either Middle Dutch or Middle Low German. In either case, the puttock would be so called because it either has the form of a foot, or provides a base or ‘footing’ for the shrouds. See further B. Sandahl Middle Eng. Sea Terms (1982) III. 79–81. It is uncertain whether the forms in the following quots. are related:1294–5 Naval Acct. in B. Sandahl Middle Eng. Sea Terms (1982) III. 81 Et iij s. in stipendiis vnius fabri pro pott'nges fabricandis..apud Swynflete.1295 Accts. Exchequer King's Remembrancer 5/8 m.13 Et iiij s. in xij duo-denis de Wyninges emptis..ad velum, Et vij s. vj d. in xij pottringes, iiijor polayns, et j Rackke ad Mast. Perhaps compare Dutch putting metal fittings by which the main shrouds of the masts are secured to the ship's sides (apparently first recorded in 1657 in form †puttinck ; earlier currency is perhaps implied by the late 15th-cent. Old Swedish loan cited below, although its sense is not certain; compare Dutch mars-putting futtock shroud (1702)), of uncertain origin. The following are probably borrowed from the Dutch word: German regional (Low German: East Friesland) pütting , German Putting , Pütting (1702 or earlier), Danish pytting (a1719 or earlier), all in the senses ‘metal fittings securing the shrouds to the ship's sides’, ‘futtock shrouds’, Old Swedish pöttinge , exact sense uncertain (1495, perhaps plural; Swedish putting futtock shroud). With puttock-shroud at main sense compare also Dutch puttingwant (1813), Swedish püttingsvant (1796), Danish pyttingvant . However, it has been plausibly suggested that Dutch putting is < English puttock , with suffix substitution. In later use (from the second half of the 18th cent.) the word was frequently confused with the unrelated word futtock n., e.g. in W. Falconer Universal Dict. Marine (1769) and later dictionaries of nautical terms. A number of the compounds at futtock n. apparently owe their origin to this confusion, among them futtock-plate n. and futtock-shroud n. It is semantically unlikely that the word is a transferred use of puttock n.¹, although this has sometimes been suggested.

Nautical. Now historical and rare.

In square-rigged vessels: each of the short shrouds connecting the lower shrouds with the top; (also, where there is a topgallant mast) each of the short shrouds connecting the topmast shrouds with the topgallant top; = futtock-shroud n. at futtock n. Compounds 2. In later use more fully puttock-shroud. Also figurative.Recorded earliest in puttock ring n. at Compounds 1.
