Husten
See also: husten
German
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈhuːstən/
Etymology 1
From Old High German huosto.
Noun
Husten m (genitive Hustens, plural Husten, diminutive Hüsterchen n)
- cough
Usage notes
- The plural is extremely rare. It could only be used in the sense of “different kinds of cough” and (doubtfully) “different periods of illness involving cough”.
- The diminutive is perhaps originally that of Huster (“an instance of coughing”), but it also substitutes the diminutive of Husten, e.g. in the sense of “a slight affection by cough”.
