bat:

Bat

as in ‘cricket bat’ [OE]a,n,d

bat

the animal [16] come from entirely different sources.

Bat

the wooden implement first appears in late Old English as

batt

‘cudgel’, but it is not clear where it ultimately came from. Some have postulated a Celtic source, citing Gaulish

andabata

‘gladiator’, which may be related to English

battle

and Russian

bat

‘cudgel’, but whatever the word’s origins, it seems likely that at some point it was influenced by Old French

batte

, from

battre

‘beat’.

The flying

bat

is an alteration of Middle English

backe

, which was borrowed from a Scandinavian language. The word is represented in Old Swedish

natbakka

‘night bat’,a,n,dappears to be an alteration of an earlier -

blaka

, as in Old Norse

lethrblaka

, literally ‘leatherflapper’. If this is so,

bat

would mean etymologically ‘flapper’, which would be of a piece with other names for the animal, particularly German

fledermaus

‘fluttermouse’a,n,dEnglish

flittermouse

, which remained a dialectal word for ‘bat’ into the 20th century.

It is unusual for the name of such a common animal not to go right back to Old English; in this case the Old English word was

hrēremūs

, which survived dialectally into the 20th century as

rearmouse

.

bat (n.1)

\\\\\\\"a stick, a club,\\\\\\\" Old English

*batt

\\\\\\\"cudgel,\\\\\\\" perhaps from Celtic (compare Irisha,n,dGaelic

bat

Phrase

right off the bat

is 1888, also

hot from the bat

(1888), probably a baseball metaphor, but cricket is possible as a source; there is an early citation from Australia (in an article about slang): \\\\\\\"Well, it is a vice you\\\\\\\"d better get rid of then. Refined conversation is a mark of culture. Let me hear that kid use slang again,a,n,dI\\\\\\\"ll give it to him right off the bat. I\\\\\\\"ll wipe up the floor with him. I\\\\\\\"ll ---\\\\\\\" [\\\\\\\"The Australian Journal,\\\\\\\" November 1888].

bat (n.2)

nathbakkæ

\\\\\\\"night bat,\\\\\\\"a,n,dOld Norse

leðrblaka

\\\\\\\"leather flapper\\\\\\\" (for connections outside Germanic, see flagellum). If so, the original sense of the animal name likely was \\\\\\\"flapper.\\\\\\\" The shift from

to

-t-

may have come through confusion of

bakke

with Latin

blatta

hreran

\\\\\\\"to shake\\\\\\\" (see rare (adj.2)),a,n,d
