doppelganger
Doppelgänger (W3)

Der engl. "doppelganger" kam im 19. Jh. nach England. Wie der dt. "Doppelgänger" war auch der engl. "doppelganger" ursprünglich ein Gespenst, das eienem Lebenden ähnlich sah. Aber sowohl der dt. "Doppelgänger" als auch sein engl. "doppelganger" wandelten sich langsam zum lebenden "doppelganger", als zu einem Menschen der einem anderen zum Verwechseln ähnlich sieht.

drake
Drache (W3)

Engl. "drake" (und dt. "Drache") geht zurück auf griech. "drakon", lat. "draco" = "große Schlange", "Drache".

dúath
mallor
mallorn
i (W3)

Man vergleiche auch walisisch "du" = "schwarz" mit Sindarin "dúath" = "Schatten" oder walisisch "melyn" = "gelb" mit Sindarin "mallor" = "golden" wie in "mallorn" = "Goldbaum" (Plural "mellyrn").

Ebenfalls sei erwähnt, dass der definite Artikel im Walisischen oft die Form "y" aufweist, im Sindarin die Form "i".

Glamour (W3)

(E?)(L?) https://www.yourdictionary.com/cgi-bin/wotdarch.cgi
"Glamorous" women were originally "gramarous" but not in the sense of "grammatical". In the Middle Ages a "grammar" was a witch's manual for invoking spells and demons (engl. "gramary" = "Zauberei").

H

harpy
Harpys (W3)

Das engl. "harpy" = "Harpyie", "Hyäne", "Hexe" geht zurück auf die griechischen Sturmdämonen in Gestalt eines Mädchens mit Vogelflügeln.

"Nikothoe" war eine der "Harpyien", die auf der Flucht vor den Boreaden "Zetes" und "Kalais" über der Peloponnes in den Fluss Tigres stürzte, der seitdem "Harpys" hieß. (Apollod.1,9,21,6)

haunt (W3)

Engl. "haunt" = dt. "spuken" kann je nach Kontext auch die Bedeutungen engl. "frequent" = dt. "häufig" (when a theater-goer haunts Broadway), engl. "trouble" = dt. "beunruhigen" (when a veteran is haunted by the memories of battle) und engl. "linger" = dt. "trödeln", "lungern" (when a would-be firefighter haunts around the firehouse) annehmen.

Engl. "haunt" wurde im 13., 14. Jh. aus dem Altfranzösischen übernommen und soll weiter auf ein altnordisches Wort mit der Bedeutung engl. "to lead home", "pull", "fetch", "claim" zurück gehen und letztlich zur Wortfamilie von engl. "home", dt. "Heim" gehören. Im Deutschen findet man in diesem Umfeld beispielsweise auch den Ausdruck "Heimsuchung" bzw. als Verb dt. "heimsuchen".

Man findet engl. "haunt" auch als Substantiv mit der Bedeutung dt. "häufig besuchter Ort", "Lieblingsplatz", "Treffpunkt", "Schlupfwinkel", "Lager", "Futterplatz", als vergleichbar mit einer "Heimstätte".

Der Bedeutungswandel von engl. "haunt" geht also aus von einem germanischen Wort germ. "*haimatjan" = dt. "heim gehen", "heim bringen", aus der Familie dt. "Heim" über altnord. "heimta" = dt. "nach Hause bringen", "heim bringen", altfrz. "hanter" = dt. "oft aufsuchen", "frequentieren", auch "vertraut sein mit", (das eigene Haus wurde ja sicherlich oft aufgesucht) (heute frz. "hanter" = dt. "heimsuchen", "verfolgen", "spuken"), mengl. "haunten". Möglicherweise kam dazu der Aberglaube, dass die Toten weiterhin in ihrem ehemaligen Haus herumspukten. Shakespeare nimmt darauf Bezug in seinem Stück "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1590, a play that includes the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors (mechanicals), who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest in which most of the play is set). Das Substantiv engl. "Haunt" = dt. "ein häufig besuchter Ort", "Lieblingsplatz" ist schon etwas vorher zu finden. Engl. "haunt" für einen dt. "Geist, der an einem Ort spukt" ist seit 1843 zu finden.

Als Wurzel wird ein ide. "tkei-" postuliert.

Heute kann engl. "haunt", (engl. "old haunts"), auch jeden oft besuchten Ort bezeichnen, wie etwa, ein Kneipe, ein Restaurant, ein Fitness-Studio, oder der Treffpunkt in einem Park.

Und wenn man von Erinnerungen oder Ängsten heimgesucht wird ist man sozusagen selbst ein engl. "haunt". (A person can also be haunted by past experiences. - He is still haunted by the car accident he was involved in several years ago.)

(E?)(L?) http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=haunt

"haunt" (v.) early 13c., "to practice habitually", "busy oneself with", "take part in", from Old French hanter "to frequent", "resort to", "be familiar with" (12c.), probably from Old Norse "heimta" "bring home", from Proto-Germanic "*haimat-janan", from "*haimaz-" (see "home"). Meaning "to frequent (a place)" is c. 1300 in English. Use in reference to a spirit returning to the house where it had lived perhaps was in Proto-Germanic, but it was reinforced by Shakespeare's plays, and it is first recorded 1590 in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Related: "Haunted"; "haunting". Middle English "hauntingly" meant "frequently;" sense of "so as to haunt one's thoughts or memory" is from 1859.

"haunt" (n.) "place frequently visited", c. 1300, also in Middle English, "habit", "custom" (early 14c.), from "haunt" (v.). The meaning "spirit that haunts a place", "ghost" is first recorded 1843, originally in stereotypical U.S. black speech.

Sharon Hill
Weird Word Salad: The Terminology of the Unexplained
Posted: 05/19/2013

...
There is a problem with how the word "paranormal" is used because it is often utilized in a way that is perhaps not consistent with the original intent.
...
"Paranormal" and other terms for strange goings-on have changed over time. The word "paranormal" was coined around 1920. It means "beside, above or beyond normal". Therefore, it's anything that isn't "normal" - or, more precisely, it is used as a label for any phenomenon that appears to defy scientific understanding.
...
The term "paranormal" used to just mean extrasensory perception and psychic power but, since the 1970s in particular - thanks to TV shows and proliferation of the subject in popular culture - the term expanded in scope to include all mysterious phenomena seemingly shunned by standard scientific study. It was a convenient way to bring many similarly peculiar topics under one heading for ease of marketing. So today, it can include everything that sounds mysterious: UFOs, hauntings, monster sightings, strange disappearances, anomalous natural phenomena, coincidences, as well as psychic powers.

Haunted Scottish Castles

It is hardly surprising that many of Scotland's castles are associated with ghosts, apparitions and strange noises - they have histories in some cases stretching back over 600 years. Here is just a selection of thirty of them (from a list of 150 known to have a reputation!), plus links to castle web sites where you can learn more about the castles and see illustrations of the buildings (but probably not the ghosts...)

The Mechanics of Fear: Organic Haunted Houses in American Cinema

Anne-Marie Paquet-Deyris

Résumé

Most haunted house narratives, whether literary or filmic, are based on the same basic principle of intrusion of some outside, usually unidentified force which sows the seeds of chaos and destruction within the boundaries of a home. What is particularly fascinating is precisely the way in which the group, and most often the family, reacts to this external force. But the whole point is also to determine the exact nature of the threat and to assess who—or what—the intruder is, so as to circumscribe “it” and return the community to some form of normality. In this respect, even though a direct descendant of a more conventional haunted house film genre, the 1980s family horror imposes a reversal of viewpoints. It actually seems to be reverting to some more classical Hollywood narrative structures after the bloodbaths of the previous decade in horror feasts, such as The Hills Have Eyes (1977) or Dawn of the Dead (1978), which argued then for a new form of society. It also demonstrates how the outside-the-norm entity is finally not considered exogenous any more but rather endogenous and how it appropriates and somehow tries to incorporate some, if not all, members of the household.

In his 1981 film The Entity, Sidney Furie stages Barbara Hershey’s body (Carla Moran) as a vehicle for the revelation process and in their 1982 Poltergeist, Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg also use young Heather O’Rourke (Carol Anne Freeling) as a medium in very different kinds of houses, no longer darkened and isolated in some desolate part of the American East Coast but now part of the West Coast urban sprawl. Not unlike the next houses on the block, sometimes even belonging to the same housing development, they nevertheless come alive through the impetus given by some obscure catalizer. The same question reemerges: what are the true nature and impact of the haunting in such nondescript places?
...
Playing diversely on the Greek etymology of the term "phenomenon" ("phainestai"/"to appear"), writers and directors alike focus on the apparitional modes of the various manifestations emanating from the haunted houses.

metaphysics (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=metaphysics

1387, "branch of speculation which deals with the first causes of things," from M.L. "metaphysica", neut. pl. of Medieval Gk. "(ta) metaphysika", from Gk. "ta meta ta physika" = "the (works) after the Physics," title of the 13 treatises which traditionally were arranged after those on physics and natural sciences in Aristotle's writings. The name was given c.70 B.C.E. by Andronicus of Rhodes, and was a ref. to the customary ordering of the books, but it was misinterpreted by L. writers as meaning "the science of what is beyond the physical." Hence, "metaphysical" came to be used in the sense of "abstract, speculative" (e.g. by Johnson, who applied it to certain 17c. poets, notably Donne and Cowley, who used "witty conceits" and abstruse imagery). The word originally was used in Eng. in the singular; plural form predominated after 17c., but singular made a comeback late 19c. in certain usages under Ger. influence.

Monatsnamen des Auenland-Kalenders: afteryule, rethe, halimath (W3)

Die Sprache der Hobbits, die ursprünglich der der Rohirrim ähnelte, wird ebenfalls meist durch Tolkiens englische „Übersetzung” vertreten, bei der er große sprachliche Kreativität und eine profunde Kenntnis der englischen Lautwandelprozesse bewies.

So übernahm er die Monatsnamen des Auenland-Kalenders aus dem Altenglischen und „modernisierte” die Form der lange ausgestorbenen Wörter. Er gab ihnen die Form, die sie im Englischen wahrscheinlich heute hätten, wenn sie nicht durch lateinische Monatsnamen ersetzt worden wären, z.B. "afteryule" = "Januar" von altengl. "after-geola" = "Nach-Jul", "rethe" = "März" von altengl. "réthe" = "wild", "grausam" oder "halimath" = "September" von altengl. "halig-monath" = "heiliger Monat" ( der Erntefeste).

Ein "Ouija board" ist eine Alphabettafel die in spiritistischen Sitzungen verwendet wird.


"Ouija knows all the answers. Weird and mysterious. Surpasses, in its unique results, mind reading, clairvoyance and second sight. It furnishes never failing amusement and recreation for the entire family. As unexplainable as Hindu magic—more intense and absorbingly interesting than a mystery story. Ouija gives you entertainment you have never experienced. It draws the two people using it into close companionship and weaves about them a feeling of mysterious isolation. Unquestionably the most fascinating entertainment for modern people and modern life."

With these words, William Fuld (businessman, designer, toy maker, with no branch factories or offices) invites you, the American people, to enter the strange, twilight world of Ouija, the Wonderful Talking Board.

Mord (W3)

(E?)(L?) https://www.yourdictionary.com/cgi-bin/wotd.cgi?word=nightmare
A frightening dream or intensely distressing experience of any kind; a female demon that attacks people in their sleep.

Modern English speakers have, by and large, given up the meaning of a female goblin called a "nightmare" = "Nachtmahr" in favor of a bad dream of any sort.

Middle English, a female demon that attacks sleeping people; based on "night" + "mare" = "goblin".

"Night" is from a verbal root "*negw-" "to be dark" which turns up in German "Nacht", Latin "nox", "noctis", Greek "nux", and Russian "noch". It also underlies Latin "niger" = "black," which devolved into Italian "negro" = "black".

Old English "mare" means "goblin" (= "Kobold"), "incubus" (= "Alpdruck", "Schreckgespenst") and is related to Latin "mori" = "die," found in "mortal" (= "sterblich"), "morbid" (= "krankhaft") and to English "murder" (= "Mord").

pythoness (W3)

Engl. "pythoness" (14. Jh.) = dt. "Pythia", "pythische Priesterin", "Wahrsagerin" geht zurück auf die mythische Schlange, die von Apollo erschlagen wurde. Die Bezeichnung geht über altfrz. "phitonise", lat. "pythonissa" zurück auf griech. "python", und bezieht sich möglicherweise auf "Pytho", einem alten Namen für die Stadt "Delphi", in deren Nähe die sagenhafte Begegnung statt fand. Ein weiterer Bezug könnte zu griech. "pythein" = dt. "rot" hergestellt werden.

Auch der Name der Priesterin des Orakels zu Delphi, "Pythia", dürfte sich auf den alten Namen Delphis beziehen.

Es gibt jedoch auch Hinweise, die den Namen Delphis auf den Namen der Schlange beziehen.

pythonic (W3)

Engl. "pythonic" (1855) = dt. "wahrsagerisch", "prophetisch", "orakelhaft" geht zurück auf griech. "python" = dt. "Weissagung", "Wahrsagung". Diese Bedeutung bezieht sich auf die riesige mythologische Schlange "Python", die das Orakel von Delphi bewachte bis sie von Apollon getötet wurde.

Und entsprechend kann sich engl. "pythonic" = dt. "groß", "monströs" auch auf die griechische Python und deren heutige Nachkommen beziehen.

Eine weitere Bedeutung von engl. "pythonic" nimmt Bezug auf die englische Comedygruppe "Monty Python".

Und schließlich kann engl. "pythonic" auch auf eine Programmiersprache "Python" Bezug nehmen, die der Entwickler nach "Monty Python" benannt haben soll.

Umgangssprachlich findet man auch noch die Anspielung auf "Penis".

revenant (W3)

Frz. "revenant", engl. "revenant" (1823), ist mir am 01.11.2022 als "Le mot du jour" in der "Écoute"-App aufgefallen. Als deutsche Übersetzung ist angegeben: "Gespenst", "Geist". In einem Wörterbuch findet man noch den Zusatz: "Geist, der aus einer anderen Welt wiederkehrt". Und nun ergibt sich auch die wörtliche Übersetzung als dt. "Wiedergänger". Auf der Suche nach weiteren Hinweisen zu "revenant" zeigte sich, dass das Wort Mitglied einer großen Wortfamilie ist.

Zunächst steckt in frz. "revenant", frz. "revenir" = dt. "wiederkommen", "zurückkehren", "zurückkommen". Frz. "revenir" setzt sich dabei zusammen aus lat. "re-" = dt. "zurück", "wieder" und frz. "venir" = dt. "kommen", "herrühren", "abstammen".

Das Präfix "re-" bildet schon eine große Wortfamilie mit dt. "Reaktion", "rebellieren", "recherchieren", "reduzieren", "Reengineering", "Referat", "Rehabilitation", "reinstallieren", "Rejektion", "rekapitulieren", "Relaunch", "Reminiszenz", "renaturieren", "reorganisieren", "Repertoire", "requirieren", "Reservat", "Retorte", "Reunion", "Revanche", "Reward", "rezensieren", und vielen anderen.

Ein anderer Abkömmling ist frz. "revenu" = dt. "Einkommen". In England findet man es als engl. "revenue" = dt. "Einkommen", "Einkünfte aus Vermögen", "Einnahme", "Einnahmen", "Erlös", "Umsatzerlös", "Staatseinnahme", "that which returns from an investment". Und man stößt auch auf engl. "inland revenue" = dt. "Steuereinnahmen" und engl. "Inland Revenue" = dt. "Finanzamt".

Lat. "venire" findet man neben frz. "venir" auch in dt. "Abenteuer", engl. "adventure", "avenue", "convenient", "eventual", "invention".

Interessant wird es nun, wenn man frz. "venir" weiter zurückverfolgt und feststellt, dass es nicht nur dt. "kommen", engl. "come", heißt, sondern auch auf die selbe Wurzel zurückgeführt wird.

Das lateinische Verb "venire" (frz. "venir", und auch dt. "kommen" und engl. "come") wird weiter zurück geführt auf ide. "*gwa-", "*gwe-", "*gwem-" = engl. "to go", "come", das auch in engl. "acrobat", "basis", "come", "become", "welcome", und in griech. "baínein" = "to walk" steckt.

In den germanischen Sprachen wurde das "g" zu "k" und das "w" verschwand, so dass sich dt. "kommen" und engl. "come" herausbildete.

The Word of the Year for 2016

By Mark Nichol

Each year, several major lexicographers release their word of the year—the term that, among the most frequently looked-up words during the previous twelve months, has most prominently captured the zeitgeist. This post discusses the 2016 selections.

Merriam-Webster selected "surreal", a word apropos for a year in which various seemingly irrational, inexplicable events occurred. The dictionary company announced that a significant spike in the number of people who looked up the word occurred three times during the year, including after Election Day in the United States.

"Surreal" was coined about a hundred years ago by a group of artists responding to Sigmund Freud’s recent explication of the concept of the unconscious mind; they called their movement "surrealism", and the art the "surrealists" produced was marked by fantastic and incongruous imagery or elements. The prefix "sur-", meaning "above" or "over", is seen in other words such as "surname" ("beyond name") and "surrender" ("give over").

Among the other words Merriam-Webster noted as being frequently looked up during the year include "revenant", meaning "one who returns"; the attention was prompted by its use in the title of a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio as a man left for dead who seeks vengeance on those who abandoned him.

Another is "feckless", meaning "ineffective" or "irresponsible". Derived from the Scots word "feck", an alteration of "effect", the word gained attention when Mike Pence, the US vice president-elect, uttered it in a debate against his Democratic Party rival, Tim Kaine. ("Feck" and "feckful" are now obsolete, and "feckless" is rare.)

"Icon", ultimately from the Greek verb "eikenai", meaning "resemble", was yet another; the death of the musician who (usually) called himself Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson) prompted lookups for this word meaning "idol" or "symbol". (Interestingly, for a time he employed a glyph, or symbol, in place of his name.) Words with "icon" as a root include "iconography", meaning "depiction of icons", and "iconoclast", meaning "destroyer of icons".

The Oxford English Dictionary chose as its Word of the Year "post-truth", signifying the growing trend toward subordination of objective truth to appeals to emotion and personal belief when weighing decisions. (In American English, the prefix "post" is usually not hyphenated, but British English tends to retain the hyphen in such usage, and usage of this word in the United States tends to follow that style.)

Meanwhile, the word selected by Dictionary.com to represent the preceding year is "xenophobia", meaning "fear or hatred of strangers or the unknown". (In Greek, "xenos" means "stranger" — but also "guest" — and "phobia" is derived from the Greek word "phobos", meaning "fear".)

The "draugar" often inhabit burial mounds, guarding treasure, for example "Þráinn". Another "draugr" is Glámr in Grettis saga Ásmundarsonar; he is killed by Grittir but curses his slayer and this is seen as the cause of Grittir's later misfortunes. In Eyrbyggja saga, Þórólfr Half-Foot is also reincarnated as a "draugr". He leaves his burial mound and causes devastation in the area of Þórsnes (Stykkishólmur) before he is finally laid to rest.

"ghost"

A disembodied spirit. The term is usually applied to the human soul after death. It is used interchangeably with such words as "apparition", "phantom", "specter", "shade", and "revenant".

Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997): "Revenants"

Ghosts who reappear after some time rather than immediately after death and in more material form. They are often presented as decomposing (though clothed). They are not Zombies, as they retain an identity and purpose – possibly Vengeance. Like ghosts, revenants appear close to the place of death, though not necessarily in Haunted Dwellings.

Roi Arthur
König Artus
King Arthur (W3)

Der sagenhafte König der keltischen Briten mit Namen dt. "König Artus", frz. "Roi Arthur", engl. "King Arthur", auch "Arthus" genannt, lebte - wenn überhaupt um 500 n.Chr. und hat möglicherweise gegen die eindringenden Sachsen gekämpft und fiel in der Schlacht am Camlann 537.

Er taucht allerdings erst in der 1135 in der "Historia regum Britanniae" des "Geoffrey of Monmouth" auf worin er vom lokalen Helden zum glanzvollen Herrscher von weltpolitischer Bedeutung erhoben wird. Zur weiteren Heroisierung trägt dann der anglonormannische Dichter Wace bei, der Artus im Jahr 1155 in seiner französischen Übersetzung "Roman de Brut" zum feudalhöfischen Kriegsherrn stilisiert.

In diesem Werk taucht auch zum ersten Mal die Tafelrunde von König Artus auf, die aus ausgewählten und vorbildlichen Rittern bestand.

Der Mythos fand Fortsetzungen in den Sagen von Parzival und wurde in ganz Europa durch Prosa- und Verserzählungen verbreitet. Man findet Variationen in den Werken von "Chrétien de Troyes", "Hartmann von Aue", "Gottfried von Straßburg", "Wolfram von Eschenbach", "Sir Thomas Malory", "A. Tennyson", "J. Cocteau", "T. Dorst", "C. Hein" bis hinzu Verwertungen in der neueren Fantasy-Literatur.

Shivering Boy, The

by Micha F. Lindemans

At Triermain Castle, in Northumberland, it is not so much a sight as a touch that is to be feared .... the touch of tiny, icy fingers, and a little boy's voice whispering, "Cold, cold, forever more."

The boy, legend has it, lived in the fifteenth century, and had inherited the castle when his father died. The uncle who was made the boy's ward wanted the castle for himself, so he starved the boy until he was barely alive, then abandoned him on Thirwell Common in the midst of a winter storm. The boy perished in the snow. But he returned to the castle in death, and walks the halls, teeth chattering, a spectral six-year-old shivering with the cold. If he enters the room of someone asleep, he may simply stand whimpering by the bed ... or he may reach out and lay an ice-cold hand on the sleepers brow. To feel his touch, or see his sad little figure, is a portent of trouble to come.

Quenya - the Ancient Tongue

(E?)(L?) http://www.uib.no/People/hnohf/quenya.htm

Also spelt: "Qenya", "Qendya", "Quendya"
Also called: "High-elven" / "High-elvish", the "High Speech of the Noldor", the "Ancient Speech", the "speech of the Elves of Valinor", "Elf-latin" / "Elven-latin", "Valinorean", "Avallonian", "Eressëan", "parmalambë" ("Book-tongue"), "tarquesta" ("high-speech"), "Nimriyê" (in Adûnaic), "Goldórin" or "Goldolambë" (in Telerin), "Cweneglin" or "Cwedhrin" (in Gnomish).



...
The Quenya past tense always shows the final vowel "-ë" (though secondary endings may of course be added; for instance, we see "-er" where the verb has a plural subject). This vowel "-ë" is very often part of the ending "-në", which seems to be the most general past tense marker in Quenya. A-stem verbs typically add this ending. For instance, a verb "orta-" = "to rise" / "raise" is listed in the Etymologies (entry ORO, LR:379), and the song Namárië in LotR demonstrates that its past tense is "ortanë".

Urban Legend
FOAF (W3)

(E6)(L1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_legend

"Urban Legend" is also the name of a 1998 movie.

Urban legends are a kind of folklore consisting of stories often thought to be factual by those circulating them. Urban legends are sometimes repeated in news stories and, in recent years, distributed by email. People frequently say such tales happened to a "friend of a friend" - so often, in fact, that "FOAF" has become a commonly used acronym to describe this sort of story.

Some urban legends have survived a very long time, evolving only slightly over the years, as in the case of the story of a woman killed by spiders nesting in her elaborate hairdo. Others are new and reflect modern circumstances, like the story of the man on a business trip being seduced by a woman and waking up the next morning minus a kidney surgically removed for transplant. Some urban legends have a basis in true events, such as the case of the young man shooting bullets into a large saguaro cactus and being killed when his gunfire severed the trunk, resulting in the falling plant crushing him. Even when essentially true, however, the stories often become distorted by many retellings.

Despite their name, "urban legends" do not necessarily take place in an urban setting. The name is designed to differentiate them from traditional folklore created in pre-industrial times.

Urban legends often are born of fears and insecurities, or specifically designed to prey on such concerns.

wicked (W3)

Das Adjektiv engl. "wicked" bedeutet dt. "böse", "schlecht", "schlimm", "niederträchtig", "schändlich", "verrucht", auch - etwas abgemildert - dt. "schalkhaft", und als Slangausdruck auch "toll", "großartig" oder einfach als Verstärkung im Sinne von dt. "sehr" (vgl. dt. "verdammt gut").

Eine ähnliche Bedeutung hat auch engl. "vicious" = dt. "böse", "boshaft", "böswillig", "bösartig", "übel", "verdorben", "skrupellos", "schlecht", "brutal", "unerträglich", das mit altfrz. "vicios", frz. "vicieux" und lat. "vitiosus", mlat. "vicious" = dt. "fehlerhaft", "mangelhaft", "verfälscht" und lat. "vitium" = dt. "Fehler", "Mangel", "Schaden" in Verbindung steht.

Als Substantiv findet man engl. "wick" gleich in zweifacher Bedeutung.

Einmal als dt. "Docht", wobei eine Verwandtschaft zu dt. "wickeln" vorliegt. Auch das altdt. "wich", "wicha", mhdt. "wicke" bedeutete dt. "Faserbündel", "Docht". Als Wurzel wird ide. "*ueg-" = dt. "weben", "knüpfen", "Gespinst" postuliert. Dazu gesellt sich auch altind. "vagura" = dt. "Fangstrick", "Netz zum Wildfang", "Garn", lat. "velum" = dt. "Segel", "Hülle", "Tuch", altir. "figim" = dt. "webe" und auch dt. "Wachs", das ursprünglich dt. "Gewebe der Bienen" bedeutete. Auch der "Wacholder" könnte zur Familie gehören, da seine Zweige zum Flechten benutzt wurden.

Und es gibt auch ein engl. "wick" = dt. "wick" = dt. "Dorf", "Weiler". Dieses "wick" steht in Verbindung zu dt. "weichen" und entwickelte sich über die Bedeutung "zurückweichen", "Rückzugsort" zu der Bedeutung "Dorf". "den Suffix "-wick", "-wig" findet man auch in vielen deutschen Ortsnamen. So heißt ein Ort in meiner Nähe "Contwig". Und in England findet man die Variante "-wich" in "Sandwich" oder "Greenwich" , "grüne Ort". Weitere Beispiele sind engl. "Norwich", lat. "vicus", ndl. "Noordwijk", dt. "Kettwig", dt. "Bardowick", "Schleswig", "Sandwig" (das von den Anhgelsachsen als engl. "Sandwich" exportiert wurde), dt. "Braunschweig" ("Brunos Ort"). Auch alleinstehend findet man es als dt. "Wyk" auf Föhr und span. "Vigo".



Ein interessanter Vertreter dieser Wortfamilie ist auch der "Vikar", der auf lat. "vicarius" = dt. "Stellvertreter" basiert und zu lat. "vicis" = dt. "Wechsel", "Platz", "Stelle" gebildet wurde.

Alles sicherlich ganz interessant - aber weder der "Wickel" noch die "Weiche" haben etwas mit dem Adjektiv engl. "wicked" = dt. "böse", "schlecht" zu tun. Dieses engl. "wicked" ist verwandt mit engl. "witch" = dt. "Hexe", "Zauberin" und engl. "wizard", = dt. "Zauberer", "Hexenmeister". Diese Wortfamilie wird zurück geführt auf altengl. "wicca" = dt. "Zauberer". Und als Adjektiv entstand daraus auch engl. "wick" = dt "zauberartig". Aus unerfindlichen Gründen (vielleicht wegen der eingängigeren Aussprache) wurde diesem die Endung "-ed" angehängt. Damit ist also die ursprüngliche Bedeutung von engl. "wicked" = dt. "hexenartig", "zauberartig" und das mußte ja irgendwann zu dt. "schlecht" und "schlimm" mutieren.

Interessanterweise ist diese Herkunft von engl. "wicked" derart in Vergessenheit geraten, dass man mittlerweile auch eine engl. "wicked witch" = dt. "böse Hexe", wörtlich jedoch "hexenartige Hexe" finden kann.

Als Wurzel wird ide. "*weg-" postuliert mit der Grundbedeutung dt. "wach", "wachen", "wecken". Daraus hat sich evtl. über den "Totenwächter" oder "der Tote Erweckende" die Assoziation "hexen", "zaubern" eingestellt. Als Mitglieder der Wortfamilie findet man

Fazit:

Das Homonym engl. "wick" hat sich also dreimal entwickelt:

(E?)(L?) http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=wicked

"wicked" (adj.) c. 1200, extended form of earlier "wick" - "bad", "wicked", "false" (12c.), which apparently is an adjectival use of Old English "wicca" - "wizard" (see "wicca"). Formed as if a past participle, but there is no corresponding verb. For evolution, compare "wretched" from "wretch". Slang ironic sense of "wonderful" first attested 1920, in F. Scott Fitzgerald. As an adverb from early 15c. Related: "Wickedly".

...
Now here’s a surprise: Some of our unusual adjectives weren’t created this way. One of them is "wicked". You might wonder if the word has anything to do with the noun "wick", the thing that you burn in a candle or an oil lamp. Actually, no. You can put the "-ed" suffix on "wick", and talk about a "/wikt/ candle" or "/wikt/ lamp", but in those cases, the word has just one syllable, as you’d expect.

According to the OED, the source for "wicked" is the Old English noun "wicca", meaning "wizard". The feminine form of this word is the source of our word "witch". This noun "wicca" had an adjective form, "wick", which picked up an "-ed" suffix for no apparent reason. So etymologically, a "wicked witch" is nothing more than a "witch-like witch". Objections over how this meaning of "wicked" evolved to mean "evil" are well-founded, but that’s a bigger topic than we can get into here.

Wicked has two quite contradictory meanings. If something is pure evil, then it is wicked. Think Darth Vader. On the other hand, as an informal slang term, wicked also means excellent — as in "that DJ is wicked, man!" Go figure.

Wicked Bible

Posted by Grant Barrett on August 25, 2012 · Add Comment

The so-called Wicked Bible is a 1631 version of the King James, printed by Robert Barker and Matin Lucas. This particular Bible is so-called because the printers somehow managed to leave out the word not in the commandment against adultery. They were, indeed, punished. Behold the offending page. This is part of a complete episode.

Dear Word Detective: Why is it that New Englanders misuse the term "wicked"?
...
Words change their meanings, or add new meanings, constantly. In fact, it's not unusual for words to nearly reverse their meanings over the centuries. Back in the 13th century, for instance, the English word "nice", rooted in the Latin "nescius" ("not knowing", "ignorant"), meant "foolish" or "stupid".

In the case of "wicked", what we have here is a new slang sense of "wicked", analogous to the current slang use of "bad" to mean "good", that does not in any way preclude the use of the word's original meaning of "evil" or "cruel". The Wicked Witch of the West is still both "wicked" and "bad" in the original senses of the words.

Speaking of "witches", "wicked", dating to the 13th century, is actually an adjective form of the Old English word "wicca", meaning "male witch" or "wizard", which also gave us the word "witch". The word "wicca" is best known today as the name of a neo-pagan religion which has gained considerable popularity since the mid-20th century.

The slang use of "wicked" to mean "excellent" (or as a positive intensifier, as in "wicked fast") is indeed native to New England, especially the Boston area, but it has spread widely into other areas of the US since it first became popular in the 1980s. Surprisingly, use of "wicked" in this ironic sense dates back at least to the 1920s, with the first occurrence in print found so far being in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise".

Zwergennamen bei Tolkien: Dain, Durin, Fundin, Gimli, Gandalf (W3)

Die Namen der Bewohner Wilderlands entstammen verschiedenen altgermanischen Sprachen, so wiederum dem Altenglischen und dem Gotischen und Altisländischen.
