broider, v. arch.|ˈbrɔɪdə(r)|
Forms: 5 broudre, 5–6 browdre, browder, brouder, broder, 6 brauder, 6–7 brodre, 6 brodur, brother, 7 broidre, 7– broider.
[In 15th c. broudre, brouder, taken as the equivalent of F. brode-r, brouder; ‘to stitch, embroider’ (of which the regular Eng. repr. was broude, browd). It is not clear whether the terminal -er represents the F. infinitive (as in render, tender, etc.), or had some other origin. The typical forms during the 16th c. were browder and broder; broider (exc. as implied in broiderer, q.v.) is found only later; its oi is evidently due to the association with broid ‘to braid’, so common in the 16th c.]
