Black Princen.

Brit.

/blak ˈprɪns/, U.S.

/ˌblæk ˈprɪns/

Forms: see black adj. and n. and prince n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: black adj., prince n.

Etymology: < black adj. + prince n.The semantic motivation of sense 1 is uncertain. Although the following quot. suggests that Edward's sobriquet originated in French, but no contemporary supporting evidence of such a use of French noir ‘black’ (see noir adj.) or a parallel French compound has been found:1688 J. Barnes Hist. Edward III I. iii. 46 Sirnamed by the French le Neoir, or the Black-Prince. Compare also the discussion by Richard Barber in Oxf. Dict. National Biogr. at Edward of Woodstock: ‘Even his sobriquet, the Black Prince, which is not found until the Tudor period, is as obscure as his character; it has been variously attributed to his black armour and to French hatred of him.’ For yet another suggestion, see quot. 1853 at sense 1. With black prince of darkness at sense 2, compare prince of darkness at prince n. 4a.

1. A name given from the 16th cent. to Edward of Woodstock (1330–76), Prince of Wales and Aquitaine, eldest son of King Edward III and father of King Richard II of England.
