Etymology

The term 'spavined' originates from the Middle English word 'spavyn', which is thought to be derived from the Old French word 'espavain'. This term has its roots in the Latin 'spavina', meaning 'a swelling or a lump', related to the hock joint of a horse. The etymology reflects the condition's association with degeneration and inflammation of the horse's joints. The use of the word in English has primarily remained within equestrian terminology, illustrating the historical significance of horse breeding and care in English culture. Over time, as equestrian activities have evolved, so has the understanding of horse ailments, but the term 'spavined' remains a specific descriptor of a particular condition.
