▪ I. stomacher1|ˈstʌmətʃə(r), ˈstʌməkə(r)|

[app. f. stomach n. + -er1: but see below.
The alleged F. estomachier appears to be recorded only by Palsgrave. If it be genuine, and the source of the Eng. word, it would account for the pronunciation |ˈstʌmətʃə(r)|, which is given in the pronouncing dictionaries of Kenrick (1773), Sheridan (1780), Walker (1791), Smart (1836), Worcester (1860), in Cassell's Encyclopædic Dict. (1888), and in Webster's Dict. (1828–1886). The genuineness of this pronunciation is attested by the spellings stomager (1450, 1727), stomackger (1575), stomatcher (17..), and stomacher (c 1450 onwards): the spelling with k is evidenced only once (c 1466), though the word occurs frequently in writers who wrote the word stomach with k. The pronunciation |ˈstʌməkə(r)| was given by Ogilvie Imperial Dict. (1850) and appears in later editions of that work and in recent U.S. dicts. It is not impossible that estomachier was really formed in late Anglo-French, and is the source of the Eng. word. For the sense cf. the misuse of stomach for ‘chest’ (stomach n. 3).]
