Brit.

/kəmˈpjuːtə/, U.S.

/kəmˈpjudər/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: compute v., -or suffix.

Etymology: < compute v. + -or suffix. Compare earlier computer n.In later use, especially in the sense of computer n. 3 (as in quot. 1989 at sense 2), probably simply an error for computer n.

1. A person who makes calculations or computations; = computer n. 1, computator n. 1.
