sardinen.¹

/ˈsɑːdʌɪn/

Forms: Middle English sardiner, sardyn, Scottish sardiane, 1500s– sardine.

Etymology: < late Latin sardinus, occurring in the Vulgate of Rev. iv. 3 (if the genitive sardinis of the usual text be a mistake for *sardini ; but the word may be the genitive of *sardo , < Greek σαρδώ , genitive -δοῦς , some gem), where it renders Greek σάρδινος , a variant reading for σάρδιος (or σάρδιον ) sardius n., which modern editors adopt. The Greek σάρδινος occurs in one other passage (see Liddell & Scott): late Latin sardinus is quoted by Du Cange from the Old Latin version of Proverbs xxv. 12. Old French sardine 12th cent. may perhaps represent this word, or it may be a variant of sardoine (see sardoin n.).

A precious stone mentioned in Revelation iv. 3. In the non-Biblical examples perhaps used for sardoin n.
