  • Comment on (A): Acer campestre L., field maple, Feld-Ahorn

    Cf. Brown (1969,323, note on Ep 33): "The lemma is apparently diminutive of acer and ancestar of French érable." JOCLIS is not clear.

    Etymology:

    Cf. Holthausen (1974, s.v.): "mapel-trēo n. 'Feldahorn', ne. maple, mnd. mapel-dorn, ais. mọpur-r (umgeb. nach mọsur-r 'Maser')" and "mapuldor mf. ds., as. mapulder, ahd. mazzoltra, nhd. Maßholder." Based on sound laws only NDS forms are related to OE mapuldor: OS mapulder 'maple, Ahorn', GML mapeldorn (with secondary -n, based on dorn or ahorn) (cf. Björkman 1901,212). Apparently related, or an English loan is OICEL mọpur-r 'sycamore maple, Bergahorn, Waldahorn' (cf. Falk / Torp 1910,I,716) which is remodeled into ON mọsur-r (cf. Kluge 2002, s.v. Maser), this again is related to GMC +masura- 'maple Ahorn' (cf. Falk / Torp 1910,I,716), which corresponds with OHG masar, MHG maser, NHG Maser 'gnarled outgrowth on maple or other trees, cup made from burl wood; knorriger Auswuchs an Ahorn u. a. Bäumen; Becher aus Maserholz (cf. Kluge 2002, s.v. Maser).

    A more comprehensible approach is based on the popular HG name Maßholder, OHG mazzaltra, mazzoltra, MHG mazzalter, from GMC +matulđra, WGMC "matuldra, mit Baumnamensuffix zu germ. +matlu-, as. mat 'Speise'" (Kluge 2002, s.v. Maßholder). This form could have been transformed to WGMC +mapuldra following the model of WGMC +apuldra (OE →apuldor 'apple tree, Apfelbaum', OHG affoltra, apfoltra). One supporting fact is that +apuldra is the only tree name ending on -dra in the LG / anglo-friesian language area, which could have been model for +matuldra, while in the HG language area there are various tree names with the same suffix (e.g. Holunder, Wacholder), which helps to make the formation more transparent. Evidence for a close associative connection of →apuldor and mapuldor is, for example, the following occurrence (LB 27/10): genim [...] apuldor, mapuldor. A similar association of both tree names can be found in the LG names for Acer campestre, which in later times can also be found in HG areas: Aepeldäörn, Aepeldurn, Apelder, Apeldören (cf. Pritzel / Jessen 1967, 2).

Etymology Last Update: 18.07.2011 14:54

  • Etymology: WGmc Etymology-Comment:

    etymology unclear; probably from WGmc mapul-dra < ⁺mapul + ⁺-dra, see → _-dor; cf. OIcel mopur-r; OS mapulder; MLG mapeldorn; built in analogy to WGmc matuldra 'edible tree' (because its leaves were used as fodder) < Gmc matulþra < PGmc matlu- 'meal, Speise' + -dra; cf. ON mosur-r; OHG mazzaltra, mazzoltra; MHG mazzalter; G Maßholder, which probably was built in analoy to WGmc apuldra 'apple-tree'

  • Word-Formation: -dor, -dur
  • Word-Formation-Comment: suffix formation: mapul- (which is not attested independently in OE) + -dor; ModE maple is regarded as a back-formation from mapuldor.
