randanadv.n.³

Brit.

/ranˈdan/, U.S.

/ˈrænˌdæn/,

/rænˈdæn/

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: randem n.

Etymology: Apparently a transferred use of randem n., the boat being so called because it is rowed by three people sitting behind each other, similar to the configuration of the horses in a randem carriage; the second syllable apparently shows remodelling after the first syllable, apparently through a process of assimilation. With the use as adverb compare earlier randem adv.Connection or association with earlier randan n.¹ seems unlikely on semantic grounds.

Rowing.

†A. adv.

With three rowers sitting one behind the other, the middle of whom uses a pair of sculls, while the stroke and bow pull a single oar each. Obsolete.
