armourerarmorern.

Brit.

/ˈɑːm(ə)rə/, U.S.

/ˈɑrmərər/

Forms: Middle English armerur (perhaps transmission error), Middle English armorar, Middle English armorere, Middle English armorier, Middle English armurer, Middle English armvrer, Middle English armyrowrysse (plural, perhaps transmission error), Middle English–1500s armerer, Middle English– armorer, Middle English– armourer, 1500s armorour, 1700s arm'rer; also Scottish pre-1700 airmorer, pre-1700 armorar, pre-1700 armorare, pre-1700 armorer, pre-1700 armorer, pre-1700 armourare, pre-1700 armoureur.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French armourer.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman armorer, armourer, armurer, Middle French armurier (French armurier ) maker or seller of weapons or armour (1268 in Old French; the precise sense is often difficult to determine) < armour , armure , etc. armour n. + -er , -ier -er suffix².Specific senses. Sense 2 may result from confusion with armour n.; similar confusion in Anglo-Norman is suggested by an apparently isolated instance of armurers (plural) in uncertain sense, perhaps ‘armour’, in a document (a1412) where this instance was corrected in the manuscript to armures , plural of armure armour n. (see Anglo-Norman Dict. at armurer). In quot. ?c1400, it is also possible that Chaucer misread classical Latin arva (spelt arua ), plural of arvum field (see arval adj.), as arma arms n., or was translating from a manuscript of the Latin text which contained such an error. In sense 4 perhaps after French armurier (1736 in this sense). Earlier uses as surname. Attested as surname from the second half of the 13th cent. onwards, e.g. Thomas le Armurer (1268), Magister Gwydo le Armerer (1279), Gilbert le Armorer (1281), although it is unclear whether these early examples reflect the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word; the same ambiguity holds for the following early Scottish example:1327 in J. Stuart & G. Burnett Exchequer Rolls Scotl. (1878) I. 62 Compotum Stephani dicti armurer.

a. A maker or repairer of weapons or armour, esp. mail (mail n.³ 2a). Now historical.
