† Richard Snaryn.

Forms: also as a single word and with lower-case initial(s).

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: English Dick snary.

Etymology: Alteration (with humorous substitution of Richard (see Richard n.) for the pet form Dick : see dick n.¹) of Dick snary (see quot. 1627), itself showing a humorous remodelling of dictionary n. (probably reflecting a trisyllabic pronunciation of that word: dicsnary appears as a spelling of dictionary n. in the preceding line of the play cited in quot. 1627).Compare slightly earlier rhyming slang Richard Swary ‘dictionary’:1621 J. Taylor Motto sig. C7^v (margin) In my English Latine Richard Swary, I finde or coynd this worthy word.

slang. Obsolete.

A dictionary, esp. humorously represented as a person.
