Definitions and meaning of sparerib

sparerib

Alternative forms

  • spare-rib, spare rib
  • spear-rib

Etymology

Probably borrowed from Low German ribbesper, from Middle Low German ribbespêr (“spare-ribs”), from ribbe (“rib”) + sper (“spear; spit”), from Old Saxon ribbi + sper, from Proto-Germanic *ribją + *speru. The word was transposed, with the first element becoming confused with English spare due to folk-etymology. Compare also English ribspare (rare, modern uses dialectal).

  • Rhymes: -ɪb
