Hack (Horse) Ney + de 'of' reversed.

Michel Ney fought in the French revolutionary war.

With respect to Mamya, I didn't think M. Ney was involved & had -

Hackneyed - 'hackney' (horse) + 'de' (Fr. "of", revolutionary; back)

I thought he deserved a spin out, he doesn't get mentioned much lately :-)

Happy to be put straight.

Not at all Mamya, it's only my opinion of the parse & you're right, he's been quiet of late :-)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Ney

Now he's everywhere ;-)

Sorry Mamya didn't see your post at 16.16

...ney! ney! surely not!

It's fine, trust me to start a kerfuffle.

You don't need Marshal Ney: 'hackney' can mean a horse

That was sorted out hours ago, look up.

Ah, so it was - missed that post
