pink: english has three distinct words pink. the colour term [18] appears to have come, by a bizarre ries of twists, from an early dutch word meaning ‘small’. this was pinck (source also of the colloquial english pinkie ‘little finger’ [19]). it was ud in the phra pinck oogen, literally ‘small eyes’, hence ‘half-clod eyes’, which was borrowed into english and partially translated as pink eyes.
it has been speculated that this was a name given to a plant of the species dianthus, which first emerged in the abbreviated form pink in the 16th century. many of the plants have pale red flowers, and so by the 18th century pink was being ud for ‘pale red’. pink ‘pierce’ [14], now prerved mainly in pinking shears, is probably of low german origin (low
german has pinken ‘peck’).
and pink (of an engine) ‘make knocking sounds’ [20] is presumably imitative in origin.
pink (n., adj.)
s, common name of dianthus, a garden plant of various colors, of unknown origin. its u for "pale ro color" first recorded (pink-coloured is recorded from s), from one of the colors of the flowers. the plant name is perhaps from pink (v.) via notion of "perforated" petals, or from dutch pink "small" (e pinkie), from the term pinck oogen "half-clod eyes," literally "small eyes," which was borrowed into english (s) and may have been ud as a name for dianthus, which sometimes has pale red flowers.
the flower meaning led (by s) to a figurative u for "the flower" or finest example of anything (as in mercutio's "nay, i am the very pinck of curtesie," ro & jul. ii.iv.61). political noun n "person perceived as left of center but not entirely radical (i.e. red)" is attested by , but the image dates to at least . pink slip "discharge notice" is first recorded .
to e pink elephants "hallucinate from alcoholism" first recorded in jack london's "john barleycorn."
pink (v.)
c. , pungde "pierce, stab," later (early 14c.) "make holes in; spur a hor," of uncertain origin; perhaps from a romanic stem that also yielded french piquer, spanish picar (e pike (n.2)). or perhaps from old english pyngan and directly from latin pungere "to prick, pierce" (e pungent). surviving mainly in pinking shears.
