beefeatern.

Etymology: < beef n. + eater n.; compare Old English hláf-ǽta, lit. ‘loaf-eater,’ a menial servant. (The conjecture that sense 2 may have had some different origin, e.g. < buffet ‘sideboard,’ is historically baseless. No such form of the word as *buffetier exists; and beaufet, which has been cited as a phonetic link between buffet and beefeater, is merely an 18th cent. bad spelling, not so old as beef-eater.)Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈbeefˌeater.

1. An eater of beef; contemptuously, a well-fed menial. (Properly with hyphen, beef-eater.)
