Brit.

/ˈrɪəmaʊs/, U.S.

/ˈrɪ(ə)rˌmaʊs/, Welsh English

/ˈriəmaus/

Inflections: Plural rearmice, (nonstandard) rearmouses.

Forms:

α. early Old English hryremus (Kentish), Old English hreremus, early Middle English heremus (transmission error), Middle English jeremyse (plural, transmission error), Middle English reremees (plural), Middle English reremijse (plural), Middle English reremous, Middle English reremowse, Middle English reremues (plural), Middle English reremys (plural), 1500s reermeece (plural), 1500s–1600s reremise (plural), 1500s– reremouse, 1600s reeremouse, 1600s reermous, 1600s (1800s– English regional (Gloucestershire)) reermouse; N.E.D. (1904) also records a form Middle English reremows.

β. Middle English reemys (plural), Middle English remous, 1500s remouse, 1600s remise (plural); English regional (south-western) 1700s– ryemouse, 1800s rymouse, 1800s– raamouse, 1800s– rawmouse, 1800s– raymouse.

γ. 1500s rearemyce (plural), 1500s–1600s rearemouse, 1600s– rearmouse, 1800s– raremouse (English regional (south-western)).

Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: an element of uncertain origin, mouse n.

Etymology: Apparently < a first element of uncertain origin (see below) + mouse n., perhaps as alteration of Old English hrēaðemūs (see below).The first element may represent the stem of Old English hrēran to move, to shake, to agitate (see rore v., but the length of the vowel is not certain. Compare later flickermouse n., flinder-mouse n., flittermouse n. (and the Germanic parallels cited at that entry), and rattle-mouse n. 1. Compare Old English hrēaðemūs bat ( < a first element of uncertain origin (perhaps ultimately < an Indo-European base with the underlying sense ‘to shake, to move quickly’) + mouse n.):eOE Épinal Gloss. (1974) 58 Uespertilio, hreadaemus.OE tr. Alexander's Let. to Aristotle (1995) §19. 236 Þær eac cwoman hreaþemys þa wæron in culefrena gelicnesse swa micle, & þa on ure ondwlitan sperdon & us pulledon. The Old English (Kentish) form hryremus apparently shows inverse spelling of y for e (association with Old English hryre rure n. is unlikely for phonological and semantic reasons).

Now rare (archaic and English regional (south-western and midlands) and Welsh English in later use, or with reference to earlier texts).

1. A bat.In quot. eOE at α. erroneously glossing Latin stellio (also stelio) ‘kind of lizard’, apparently by confusion with vespertilio ‘bat’.
