the lastborn of a family’s children, especially when pampered (as goes the cliché)
çekim: tamlayan Nesthäkchens
eş: Benjamin, Schoßkind
köken: From earlier Nesthöckelchen, from Nesthocker, from Nest (“nest”) + hocken (“to sit, squat”) + -er. In the contemporary form reanalysable as Nest + Häkchen (“little hook”).
köken: Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic мѣзинъ (mězinŭ), from Proto-Slavic *mězinъ. A derivation from Latin mediānus is improbable. Cognates include Russian мизинный (mizinnyj).
