Origin of Targe

  • From Middle English targe, from Old English targa (masculine) and targe (feminine), both from Old Norse targa (“round shield") from Proto-Germanic *targÇ­ (“edge"), from Proto-Indo-European *dArg'h- (“fenced lot"). Akin to Old High German zarga (“side wall, rim") (German Zarge (“border, frame")). Reinforced in Middle English by Old French targe (French targe), from the same Germanic source.
