assewern.

Etymology: A difficult word: used on the one hand as identical with asseour n., he who sets the table; on the other identified with sewer n.1, as if it were a compound of the latter, or the latter an aphetic form of assewer . (Sewer occurs earlier.) Compare also assayer n. 2.
Obsolete.
An officer who superintended the placing of a banquet on the table, or who himself carried in and arranged the dishes; a sewer. (In the Coll. Ordinances Royal Househ. of Edw.
