Etymology

edit

Alteration of earlier sprent (to leap; bound; dart), from Northern Middle English sprenten, from Old Norse *sprenta (for later spretta), from Proto-Germanic *sprantijaną, causative of Proto-Germanic *sprintaną (to jump up; bounce), from Proto-Indo-European *sprend-, *sprendʰ- (to flinch; jump), from Proto-Indo-European *sper- (to twitch; fidget; flinch; jump; be quick). Cognate with Middle High German sprenzen (to sprinkle; splash), Swedish spritta (to startle), Icelandic spretta (to spring forth; emerge; arise; develop).
