chanticleer (n.)
"a cock," c. 1300, from Old French Chantecler (Modern French Chanteclair), quasi-proper name of the cock in medieval stories of Reynard the Fox; literally "sing-loud" or "sing-clear," from chanter "to sing" (from PIE root *kan- "to sing") + cler (see clear (adj.)). Ben Jonson makes it chant-it-clear.
