Etymology: < Observator (in the title of The Observator, an early 18th-cent. periodical).The periodical was founded in 1702 by John Tutchin (?1661–1707), Whig pamphleteer, and ran until 1712. The title was chosen in imitation of that of the periodical published between 1681 and 1687 by Sir Roger L'Estrange (1616–1704), Tory journalist and pamphleteer. Edward Ward's Vulgus Britannicus (see quot. 1710) is a satirical, anti-Whig poem. Obsolete. transitive (in passive). To be mentioned in ‘The Observator’.Apparently an isolated use. ΚΠ 1710 E.
