Definitions and meaning of husk

husk

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /hʌsk/
  • Rhymes: -ʌsk

Etymology 1

From Middle English huske (“husk”). Perhaps from Old English *husuc, *hosuc (“little covering, sheath”), diminutive of hosu (“pod, shell, husk”), from Proto-West Germanic *hosā, from Proto-Germanic *husǭ, *hausaz (“covering, shell, leggings”), from Proto-Indo-European *kawəs- / kawes- (“cover”). If so, equivalent to hose +‎ -ock.

Alternatively from Middle Low German hūske(n) (“little house, sheath”), Middle Dutch hūskijn (“little house, core of fruit, case”), diminutive of hūs (“house”). Compare Dutch huisje, German Häuschen, both also used for “snailshell”.
