battledoren.

/ˈbat(ə)ldɔː/

Forms: Middle English batyldoure, batyldore, batylledore, ( batyndore, badildore), batildure, 1500s batildore, batil(l)dore, batteldore, 1500s–1600s battledoore, 1500s–1800s battledoor, 1500s– battledore.

Etymology: Perhaps < Provençal batedor ‘beater’; compare Spanish batidor applied to instruments as well as to persons, < batir to beat; Minsheu gives a Spanish batador , with the meaning of a beetle used in washing. But historical connection with these Romanic words is not proved, and the date offers difficulties. If we refer the first part to battle v.⁴, or to bat n.², the -dore remains without satisfactory explanation.

1. A beetle or wooden ‘bat’ used in washing, also (when made cylindrical) for smoothing out or ‘mangling’ linen clothes; hence also applied to similarly shaped instruments, e.g. the paddle of a canoe, a utensil for inserting loaves into an oven, or glass-ware into the kiln, etc.
