tarnishv.

Brit.

/ˈtɑːnɪʃ/, U.S.

/ˈtɑrnɪʃ/

Etymology: < French terniss-, extended stem of ternir , ternissant (15th cent. in Godefroy) (see -ish suffix²), < terne adjective, dull, dark; of doubtful origin. Referred by Diez and others to Old High German tarnan, Middle High German ternen (= Old Saxon dernjan, Old English diernan) to conceal, hide, < Old High German tarni (Old Saxon derni, Old English dierne, derne) hidden, secret, obscure. But there are difficulties, arising from the late appearance of the French word, as well as from the form and sense. The change fromtern- to tarn- appears to have taken place in English; but no example of ternish has been found.

a. transitive. To dull or dim the lustre of, to discolour (as a metallic surface by oxidation, etc.); to cause to fade; to spoil, wither.
