单词 faker
释义

fakern.

Brit. /ˈfeɪkə/, U.S. /ˈfeɪkər/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: fake v.2, -er suffix1.
Etymology: Probably < fake v.2 + -er suffix1. Quot. 1688 at sense 1 is much earlier than any evidence for the simplex word fake v.2, but the assumption that this shows the same word as the later evidence is supported by the occurrence of the β. forms at ben-feaker n. at the same date (see also note at sense 1 on the meanings shown by these early uses).
Originally cant, and chiefly colloquial until the mid 20th cent.
1. A person who makes or does something, a maker. More usually (and later only) with preceding word: a person who makes or works on what is denoted by the first element (cf. fake v.2 1a). Now rare.The possibility that the word may always have been capable of being used with reference to counterfeiting or forgery (cf. sense 3a) is suggested by the existence of the earlier word ben-feaker n., although unambiguous evidence of use of faker in this specific sense is not found until later.bosh-faker, flue-faker, mushroom-faker, etc.: see the first element.
