deer

deer:

[OE] In Old English,

dēor

meant ‘animal’ in general, as opposed to ‘human being’ (as its modern Germanic relatives, German

tier

, Dutch

dier

,a,n,dSwedish

djur

, still do). Apparently connected forms in some other Indo-European languages, such as Lithuanian

dusti

‘gasp’a,n,dChurch Slavonic

dychati

‘breathe’, suggest that it comes via a prehistoric Germanic *

deuzom

from Indo-European *

dheusóm

, which meant ‘creature that breathes’ (English

animal

and Sanskrit

prānin

- ‘living creature’ have similar semantic origins).

Traces of specialization in meaning to ‘deer’ occur as early as the 9th century (although the main Old English word for ‘deer’ was

heorot

, source of modern English

hart

),a,n,dduring the Middle English period it became firmly established, driving out ‘animal’ by the 15th century.

deer (n.)

Old English

deor

\\\\\\\"animal, beast,\\\\\\\" from Proto-Germanic

*deuzam

, the general Germanic word for \\\\\\\"animal\\\\\\\" (as opposed to man), but often restricted to \\\\\\\"wild animal\\\\\\\" (cognates: Old Frisian

diar

, Dutch

dier

, Old Norse

dyr

, Old High German

tior

, German

Tier

\\\\\\\"animal,\\\\\\\" Gothic

dius

\\\\\\\"wild animal,\\\\\\\" also see reindeer), from PIE

*dheusom

\\\\\\\"creature that breathes,\\\\\\\" from root

*dheu-

(1) \\\\\\\"cloud, breath\\\\\\\" (cognates: Lithuanian

dusti

\\\\\\\"gasp,\\\\\\\"

dvesti

\\\\\\\"gasp, perish;\\\\\\\" Old Church Slavonic

dychati

\\\\\\\"breathe\\\\\\\").

For prehistoric sense development, compare Latin

animal

from

anima

\\\\\\\"breath\\\\\\\"). Sense specialization to a specific animal began in Old English (usual Old English for what we now call a deer was

heorot

; see hart), common by 15c., now complete. Probably via hunting, deer being the favorite animal of the chase (compare Sanskrit

mrga-

\\\\\\\"wild animal,\\\\\\\" used especially for \\\\\\\"deer\\\\\\\").

Deer-lick

is first attested 1778, in an American context.
