robinetn.

Brit.

/ˈrɒbɪnɛt/, U.S.

/ˈrɑbəˌnɛt/

Forms: late Middle English robenet, late Middle English robynet, late Middle English robynnett, late Middle English rybynnett, late Middle English–1500s robynett, 1500s robenettes (plural), 1500s robinett, 1500s robynattes (plural), 1500s robynette, 1500s– robinet; English regional (Yorkshire) 1800s robbinat, 1800s– robinut. See also rabinet n.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Robinet.

Etymology: < Robinet, pet form of the male forename Robert (see Robert n.¹; compare robin n.¹, -et suffix¹), of French origin.The forename is attested in England as a pet form borne by men called Robert from at least the 15th cent. The reason for use in sense 1 is uncertain and unparalleled in French; perhaps compare crane n.¹ Sense 2 may represent a transferred use of the bird name (see sense 4): for the practice of naming firearms after birds compare e.g. falcon n. 3, falconet n. and see discussion at musket n.² Compare rabinet n. With this sense perhaps compare also post-classical Latin robinettus a kind of siege engine (1300 in a British source) and the following quot., where Robinet may represent the proper name of a particular engine:a1450 (?a1300) Richard Coer de Lyon (Caius) (1810) l. 1390 Another schyp was laden yet With an engyne hygte Robynet [c1450 Add. a pere Robynet]. (It was Rychardys o mangenel.) In sense 3 after French robinet tap, valve (1401 in Middle French; < robin (French regional robin ) sheep (although this is first attested later: 1458; < the French forename Robin : see robin n.¹) + -et -et suffix¹), apparently so called because the key of the tap was originally often fashioned in the form of a sheep's head. With sense 4 compare slightly later Robert n.¹ 1 and discussion at that entry, and also later robin redbreast n., robin n.¹ 2.
