单词 responder
释义

respondern.

Brit. /rᵻˈspɒndə/, U.S. /rəˈspɑndər/, /riˈspɑndər/
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: respond v., -er suffix1.
Etymology: < respond v. + -er suffix1. Compare French répondeur person who responds (12th cent. in Old French).With sense 1 compare earlier respond n. 2 and respoun n. 3 and discussion at those entries. The form responder in quot. 1822 at sense 1 (and perhaps in other uses at sense 1) apparently ultimately results from responders occurring apparently as a misreading of Middle English respondes (plural of respond n. 2) in J. Nichols & R. Gough Coll. Wills Kings & Queens Eng. (1780) 296; respondes occurs earlier in the same document as edited by Nichols and Gough, and the same text (perhaps from a different witness) as edited in L. F. Salzman Building in England (1992) 523 has respondes in both places.
