Bügel

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German *bügel (attested as bügele f, later bogell m [15th c.]), from Proto-Germanic *bugilaz, from the root of *beuganą (“to bend, bow”). Cognate with Dutch beugel, Middle Low German bȫgel (earlier already Old Saxon armbugil), Old Norse bygill (whence Danish bøjle etc.). It seems that the word was originally northern (Low and Central German) and established itself more widely only during the 16th century. The Schweizerisches Idiotikon still considers it “not truly autochthonous” (nicht recht volksmäßig). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈbyːɡəl/, [ˈbyː.ɡl̩] Hyphenation: Bü‧gel === Noun === Bügel m (strong, genitive Bügels, plural Bügel, diminutive Bügelchen n) a bent or curved piece of metal (or less often other material), a bail, bow, ring, specifically a handle such as that of a bucket an arm of glasses ellipsis of Kleiderbügel: clothes hanger ellipsis of Steigbügel: stirrup ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== Brillenbügel, Eimerbügel, Hemdbügel, Kleiderbügel, Steigbügel, Überrollbügel Bügelbrett, Bügeleisen, Bügeleimer, Bügelschloss, Bügelstange ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Serbo-Croatian: пегла === References === === Further reading === “Bügel” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “Bügel” in Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm, 16 vols., Leipzig 1854–1961. “Bügel” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Bügel” in Duden online
