husky

• adj.かすれ声; かすれ声; 強い声

husk、殻から。つまり、ハスキーな声を表す、ざらざらした、または抜け殻のような音。

カナダ英語のhoskey、Eskimoの綴りの変化形から。もともとはエスキモーのそり引き犬を指し、非常に速く、力強く、非常に凶暴でさえあったが、現在ではペットのハスキーはこのような野性味を失っている。

husky (adj.)

"hoarse," c. 1722 in reference to a cattle disease (of persons, 1740), from husk on the notion of "dry as a husk." Earlier (1550s) "having husks." Sense of "tough and strong" (like corn husks) is first found 1869, American English. Related: Huskily; huskiness.

husky (n.)

"Eskimo dog," 1852, Canadian English, earlier (1830) hoskey "an Eskimo," probably shortened variant of Ehuskemay (1743), itself a variant of Eskimo.

The moment any vessel is noticed steering for these islands [Whalefish Islands], the Esquimaux, or "Huskies,"* as the Danes customarily term them, come off in sufficient numbers to satisfy you that you are near the haunts of uncivilized men, and will afford sufficient information to guide any stranger to his anchorage. *"Husky" is their own term. I recollect the chorus to a song at Kamtchatka was "Husky, Husky." ["Last of the Arctic Voyages," London, 1855]
