Subject: </span>LL-L "Etymology" 2009.08.29 (04) [EN-NL]<span></span></p><br><p class="MsoNormal">The Dutch form, <i>tarwe</i>, made me wonder if there’s something like ‘tarrow’ in English. It turns out that there is an English word, ‘tare’ (<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tare" target="_blank">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tare</a>), which may share its origin with the Dutch word. Here’s what the Online Etymology Dictionary has to say about it:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">"kind
of fodder plant, vetch," early 14c., perhaps cognate with M.Du. tarwe
"wheat," from P.Gmc. *tarwo, cognate with Bret. draok, Welsh drewg
"darnel," Skt. durva "a kind of millet grass," Gk. darata, daratos
"bread," Lith. dirva "a wheat-field." Used in 2nd Wyclif version (1388)
of Matt. xxiii:25 to render Gk. zizania as a weed among corn (earlier
darnel and cockle had been used in this place); hence figurative use for
"something noxious sown among something good" (1711).</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tare" target="_blank">http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=tare</a></p><p class="MsoNormal">
Oddly enough, the Online Etymology Dictionary mentions a Middle Dutch form, <i>weit</i>, for wheat…where did it go?</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=wheat" target="_blank">wheat</a> <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=wheat" title=""Look up wheat at Dictionary.com" " target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:none"><img src="cid:image001.gif@01CC667A.6FC5A990" alt="Look up wheat at Dictionary.com" border="0" height="16" width="16"></span></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">O.E.
hwæte "wheat," from P.Gmc. *khwaitijaz (cf. O.S. hweti, O.N. hveiti,
Norw. kveite, O.Fris. hwete, M.Du., Du. weit, O.H.G. weizzi, Ger.
Weizen, Goth. hvaiteis "wheat"), lit. "that which is white," from
*khwitaz-, the source of O.E. hwit (see <a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=white" target="_blank">white</a>;
and cf. Welsh gwenith "wheat," related to gwenn "white"). The Old World
grain was introduced into New Spain in 1528. Wheaties, the cereal brand
name, was patented 1925.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=wheat" target="_blank">http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=wheat</a></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=wheat" target="_blank"><br>
