    Etymology

    () The earliest recorded example of mooncalf was in a thesaurus of 1565, in which the term was explicitly applied to a woman. The reference here was to a false pregnancy, to a growth in the womb that was not a foetus. -- By 1614 it had evolved to mean someone under the influence of the moon.
