rhinon.¹

Brit.

/ˈrʌɪnəʊ/, U.S.

/ˈraɪnoʊ/

Forms: 1600s ryno, 1600s–1700s rino, 1600s 1800s– rhino.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymon: rhinoceros n.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. The collocation with rhinocerical adj. in quot. a1628 suggests that the word may show a shortening of rhinoceros n. (perhaps with allusion to the value of rhinoceros horn), although this could equally reflect after-the-fact rationalization of a word of different origin, or even punning. Compare later rhino n.²

slang.

Money. Cf. ready rhino n. at ready adj., adv., int., and n. Compounds 4.No longer current in the United States.
