Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗name
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryA river in Devon, England, which has its source on Dartmoor, flowing into the English Channel at Teignmouth.
First attested as Old English Teng in an Anglo-Saxon charter of 739, probably from Proto-Celtic *tīn (“river”), from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (“to flow”). As such, possibly a doublet of Tyne and Tenna.
