(OTeut. haidu-z masc. in Goth. haidus* m., manner, way (see had n., hede), which, after coming to be used only in comb., was practically only a suffix of condition or quality. In its primary use, -hede appears to have been appropriate to adjs. as boldhede, biterhede, drunkenhede, fairhede, falshede, etc., but it was soon extended to ns., as in knyghthede, manhede, maydenhede, wommanhede (all in Chaucer), being thus used indiscriminately with -hôd (-hode, -hood) from OE. -hád. In Cursor M. fadirhede, faderhade, preistes hede, pristis hade, occur as MS. variants. This led the way finally to the obsolescence of -hede, -head, and the substitution, even in adjs., of -hood, as in mod. falsehood, likelihood, etc. One or two special forms in -head, e.g. godhead, maidenhead (distinguished from godhood, maidenhood), only remain. In Scotch, on the contrary, -hede, -heid, remained the current form, but is now more or less obsolescent. See also had n., hede n., and -hood. -head word-forming element meaning "state or condition of being," Middle English -hede, Old English -had, cognate with -hood and German -heit. The only surviving words with it are maidenhead and godhead. 1. suffix¹ \| 2. suffix² 1 -head /hɛd/ suffix¹. ORIGIN: Var. of -hood.

Forming informal nouns denoting an enthusiast of a particular thing, as gearhead. -head¹ Suffix Used to create nouns indicating a state, similar to the suffix -hood. Etymology From Middle English -hed, -hede, attested from the 12th century, continuing a hypothetical Old English -hǣde (“-hood”), from Proto-Germanic haidį̄ (“state, condition”), related to Proto-Germanic haiduz (“manner, character, quality, state”) (cognate with German -heit, Gothic 𐌷𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌿𐍃* (haidus)). Originally restricted to adjectives, the suffix began to be attached to nouns as well from at least the 15th century, leading to confusion with the -hood suffix (Old English -hād), and finally to the wide replacement of -head by -hood even in adjectives. Derived terms godhead maidenhead notefulhead widowhead See also -hood -ness -itas -head² Suffix Used to form (usually derogatory) words for people who regularly have their mind focused upon a particular subject, activity, or a specified drug or other substance, or who are addicted in some way. motorhead, metalhead, pothead Used to form words to describe people who are fans of something, especially music.
