Definitions and meaning of saunter

saunter

Etymology

Etymology unclear. Attested in the sense “to stroll” from the 1660s; noun sense “a stroll” attested 1828. Likely from earlier term meaning “to muse”, late 15th century, from late Middle English santren, of unknown origin. Competing theories exist:

  • From Anglo-Norman sauntrer (mid 14th century), from Middle French s'aventurer (“to take risks”); however this is considered unlikely by the OED. Compare Middle English aunter (“adventure”).
  • Of Germanic origin, with proposed cognates including German schlendern, Dutch slenteren, Danish slentre, Swedish släntra, and Icelandic slentur, all meaning “to stroll”.
  • From Old French sentier (“path”). In this case, santren would reflect earlier *sa(u)nteren, *senteren /sa(u̯)nˈteːrən/, /sɛnˈteːrən/, with Late Middle English stress shift and concomitant vowel reduction. This etymology is problematic: Old French */ɛn/ is not usually reflected as Middle English /a(u̯)n/, but there are exceptions, such as bran (besides expected bren) "bran".

Various fanciful folk etymologies have also been given.

Pronunciation

  • (General American) IPA(key): /ˈsɔntɚ/
  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈsɔːntə/
  • (cot–caught merger, Canada) IPA(key): /ˈsɑntɚ/
  • Rhymes: -ɔːntə(ɹ)
