wheatearn.²

Brit.

/ˈwiːtɪə/, U.S.

/ˈwidˌɪ(ə)r/

Forms: Also 1500s whekere (?), 1600s wheat ears, wheatgear (?).

Etymology: Early evidence wanting probably on account of local origin; but the original form is apparently still represented in the 17th cent. by wheatears (a1661) for *whiteeres , < whit- , white adj. and n. (compare for the phonology the place-name Whittern , Old English hwítærn ) + eeres , ers , arse n. and int., the name being given in allusion to the bird's white rump; compare Cornish dialect form whiteass , the similar dialect names white rump , wittol = white-tail (in Cotgrave whittaile , glossing French culblanc ‘white-rump’), and Dutch witstaart , German weiss-schwanz . From wheatears , taken as plural, a supposed singular wheatear was inferred, and association with wheat n. (see quot. 1653, etc.) established the spelling of the first syllable.

A small passerine bird, Saxicola œnanthe, widely distributed over the Old World, having a bluish-grey back, white belly, rump, and upper tail-coverts, and blackish wings; esteemed as a delicacy.
