释义

changern.

Brit. /ˈtʃeɪn(d)ʒə/, U.S. /ˈtʃeɪndʒər/
Forms: Middle English changeur, Middle English chaungeour, Middle English chaungeoure, Middle English chaungere, Middle English chaungour, Middle English chawniore, Middle English (1500s Scottish) changeour, Middle English–1600s chaunger, Middle English– changer; also Scottish pre-1700 chainger, pre-1700 changear, pre-1700 chenger.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: French changeur ; change v., -er suffix1.
Etymology: Partly (i) < Anglo-Norman changeour, chaungeour, chaungeur, Anglo-Norman and Middle French changeur (compare Old French changeor ; French changeur ) person who changes money from one form to another (beginning of the 13th cent. as cangeeur ; late 12th cent. in sense ‘person who engages in barter’; < changer change v. + -eur -eur suffix), and partly (ii) < change v. + -er suffix1. Compare exchanger n.Compare Old Occitan cambiador, Spanish cambiador (early 13th cent.), Portuguese cambiador (late 13th cent.), Italian cambiatore (beginning of the 13th cent.). Also attested early as a surname (e.g. Roger Chaunger (1325), Johannes Chaungoure (1346)), although it is unclear whether these should be taken as reflecting currency of the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word.
1. Originally: a person who changes money from one form to another, esp. from one currency to another; a money changer. Now chiefly: A machine which changes money into coins of lower denomination.
