peckern.

Brit.

/ˈpɛkə/, U.S.

/ˈpɛkər/

Forms: 1500s– pecker, 1800s peckker (English regional).

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly formed within English, by derivation. Partly formed within English, by clipping or shortening. Etymons: peck v.¹, -er suffix¹; peckerwood n.

Etymology: < peck v.¹ + -er suffix¹. In sense 6 short for peckerwood n.; compare earlier peck n.⁴In sense 4 perhaps arising from sense 2c (in spite of the chronology) or from the sense ‘nose’ apparently developed from this (see quot. 1891 at sense 2c). Sense 5 is perhaps of the same origin. Earlier currency is perhaps implied by the surnames Henry Peckere (1221), Simon le Peckere (1279).
