trinketn.¹

Brit.

/ˈtrɪŋkɪt/, U.S.

/ˈtrɪŋkᵻt/

Forms: Also 1500s tryn-, trinkett(e, 1600s trinckett.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; has the form of a diminutive in -et suffix¹. From the similarity of form, it has been suggested that this is the same word as trenket n. or trynket , a small knife, spec. a shoemaker's knife. But to such a transition of sense the general sense-history of the word from 1533 offers no confirmation. Another suggestion, supported by other words with trink- for trick- , is that this may be in some way related to trick n. or trick v.; compare especially trick n. 6b; but here also evidence is wanting. Godefroy has a single instance of Old French tryncle , 1474, evidently denoting a piece of jewellery: compare sense 2.

†1.

a. Any small article forming part of an outfit; usually plural the tools, implements, or tackle of an occupation; paraphernalia, accoutrements, ‘traps’.

† trinketn.²

Forms: Also 1500s trankett.

Etymology: Origin and history obscure. Apparently a local word of Cheshire and Lancashire; possibly a particular use of trinket n.¹; but according to Ray 1691 < Welsh trànked. Owen Pugh (1832) has this word as ‘tranced an earthen vessel or cup, such a cup with a handle, as is in common use’; but no etymology of the word is known in Welsh, and it may have been borrowed from a neighbouring English dialect.

Obsolete.

A small drinking vessel; a cup, mug; a porringer.

† trinketn.³

Forms: Also 1500s–1600s -ette, trinquet, 1600s trinchet.

Etymology: Identical with (and probably < ) French trinquet (15–16th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter) a foremast, also its sail; in Cotgrave 1611, ‘properly the top or top-gallant on any mast’; in modern French dictionaries ‘the foremast in a lateen-rigged vessel’. According to Hatzfeld & Darmesteter, < Italian trinchetto ‘a small saile called a trinket’ (Florio), ‘the fore-sail’ (Baretti); = Spanish trinquete ‘the foremast, the fore saile’ (Percival); Catalan triquete, Portuguese traquete (Jal). Compare also French trinquette (15–16th cent.), ‘a triangular sail, a kind of lateen sail’ (Littré), a fore-stay sail, a storm-jib; so Spanish trinquetilla. If the original application was to a sail, the meaning may have been a three-cornered sail, < Latin triquetrus; but Jal takes the name as primarily designating a mast. See Diez, Littré, Jal.

Obsolete.

a. A kind of sail; esp. the triangular sail before the mast, in a lateen-rigged vessel. In Holland's Livy it represents Latin dolon, which Isidore ( xix. iii. 3) defines as ‘minimum velum et ad proram defixum’.

Owen Pugh (1832) has this word as ‘tranced an earthen vessel or cup, such a cup with a handle, as is in common use’; but no etymology of the word is known in Welsh, and it may have been borrowed from a neighbouring English dialect.

Etymology: Identical with (and probably < ) French trinquet (15–16th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter) a foremast, also its sail; in Cotgrave 1611, ‘properly the top or top-gallant on any mast’; in modern French dictionaries ‘the foremast in a lateen-rigged vessel’. According to Hatzfeld & Darmesteter, < Italian trinchetto ‘a small saile called a trinket’ (Florio), ‘the fore-sail’ (Baretti); = Spanish trinquete ‘the foremast, the fore saile’ (Percival); Catalan triquete, Portuguese traquete (Jal). Compare also French trinquette (15–16th cent.), ‘a triangular sail, a kind of lateen sail’ (Littré), a fore-stay sail, a storm-jib; so Spanish trinquetilla. If the original application was to a sail, the meaning may have been a three-cornered sail, < Latin triquetrus; but Jal takes the name as primarily designating a mast. See Diez, Littré, Jal. Obsolete. a. A kind of sail; esp. the triangular sail before the mast, in a lateen-rigged vessel. In Holland's Livy it represents Latin dolon, which Isidore ( xix. iii. 3) defines as ‘minimum velum et ad proram defixum’.
