pasturel2 (1113-19)

The form pastureaus is a cross reference to the following entry:

pasturel2 (1113-19)

pastorel, 
pl. pastureaus,  pastureus,  pasturus  
  FEW:  pastor 7,759a Gdf:  pastorel 6,35c GdfC:  pastoureau 10,293c TL: pastorele 7,472 DEAF:  pastor (pastorele)  DMF:  pastoureau  TLF:  pastoureau  OED:  pastorel n.  MED:  pastorel n.  DMLBS:

While the FEW includes the sense of 'pastourelle, bucolic song' as a derivation of pastor (7,759a), the DMLBS suggests that this particular sense derives from the adjectival form pastoralis, likely as a result of the abbreviated locution carmen or poema pastorale. We follow the DMLBS in considering the substantive as a derivative of the adjective and include it under pasturel1, while pasturel2 represents a diminutive form of pastor.
