Oger

Oger

An ogre is a manlike monster in fairy tales, legends, fantastic or similar tales. The word has only recently been adopted from English, where it is derived from French. In German there is no exact correspondence. The French word ogre, on the other hand, was first documented in the fairy tales of Charles Perrault in 1697, For example in the Little Thumbnail. Perrault has probably taken it from the Italian author Giambattista Basile, who appears as an orco. Its origin is probably Latin orcus. Moritz Hartmann describes it in a retelling of the thumbling with "giant". The word today is a fictitious, human-like but deformed being, which is characterized by enormous body size and power. "Ogres" are ugly and shy with people. They are usually depicted as being violent and aggressive, but rather dumb. Similar to giants, they often carry a club or other clumsy weapons, but are also strong in the armed struggle. Ein Oger ist ein menschenähnlicher Unhold in Märchen, Sagen, fantastischen oder ähnlichen Erzählungen. Das Wort ist erst in neuerer Zeit aus dem Englischen übernommen, wo es wiederum aus dem Französischen stammt. Im Deutschen gibt es keine genaue Entsprechung. Das französische Wort ogre seinerseits ist erstmals 1697 in den Märchen von Charles Perrault belegt, z. B. in dem vom Kleinen Däumling. Perrault hat es vermutlich von dem als Vorlage benutzten italienischen Autor Giambattista Basile übernommen, bei dem es als orco erscheint. Dessen Ursprung ist vermutlich lateinisch orcus. Moritz Hartmann umschreibt es in einer Nacherzählung des Däumlings mit „Riese“. Das Wort bezeichnet heute ein fiktives, menschenartiges, aber missgestaltetes Wesen, das sich in der Regel durch enorme Körpergröße und Kraft auszeichnet. „Oger“ wirken hässlich und scheuen den Kontakt mit Menschen. Sie werden meist als zwar gewalttätig und aggressiv, aber eher dumm dargestellt. Ähnlich wie Riesen führen sie oft eine Keule oder andere plumpe Waffen mit sich, sind aber stark auch im waffenlosen Kampf.
