squeeze
[[English]]
ipa :/skwiːz/[Etymology]
editFrom earlier squize, squise (whence also dialectal English squizzen and squeege), first attested around 1600, of uncertain further origin; probably an alteration of quease (which is attested since 1550), from Middle English queisen (“to squeeze”), from Old English cwēsan, cwȳsan (“to crush, squeeze”), itself also of unknown origin, perhaps imitative (compare Swedish qväsa, kväsa (“to squeeze, bruise, crush; quell”), Dutch kwetsen (“to injure, hurt”), German quetschen (“to squeeze”)). Or, a blend of obsolete squiss (“to squeeze”) (whence also squash and squish) with quease. Compare also French esquicher from Old Occitan esquichar (“to press, squeeze”).The slang expression "to put the squeeze on (someone or something)", meaning "to exert influence", is from 1711. The baseball term "squeeze play" is first recorded 1905. "Main squeeze" ("most important person") is attested from 1896, the specific meaning "one's sweetheart, lover" is attested by 1980.The nonstandard strong forms squoze and squozen, attested dialectally since at least the mid-19th century, are by analogy with freeze.

[Etymology]
editFrom Middle High German vrouwe, vrowe, from Old High German frouwa, from Proto-Germanic *frawjǭ, a feminine form of *frawjô (“lord”) (Old English frēa, frēo), from Proto-Indo-European *proHwo-, a derivation from *per- (“to go forward”). Cognate with Old Saxon frūa (Middle Low German vrouwe, Modern Low German frug), Old Norse freyja. The Indo-European root is also the source of Proto-Slavic *pravъ (whence Old Church Slavonic правъ (pravŭ), Russian пра́вый (právyj, “right”)).

(please add an English translation of this quote)
Ob sich gleich in andern Dingen zwischen dem Manne und der Frauen Unterschied findet, und der Mann einigen Vorrang und einige Würde vorzüglich vor der Frauen hat: so ist doch in Absicht auf beyder geistlichen Zustand kein Unterschied; Männer und Weiber werden gleich gut wiedergeboren, gerechtfertiget und von Schuld befreyet, und werden zusammen verherrlichet werden. [...] Itzt wird der Mann aus der Frauen geboren;

4.1992 Martha Grimes, The End of the Pier, page 151:
Murray was the sort of name he might have expected his father to pick. Murray : not a family name, not a friend's name, not some old blowhard up in New Hampshire (his father's home state) who'd sat around in the general store playing checkers and sucking his teeth. Murray was a name you couldn't do anything with. Murr — what the hell kind of nickname was that? The kids in second and third grade had certainly seen the name's possibilities. With the appropriate swishes and vocal flutings, they called him "Mary".
