Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French rotour.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman roteor, rotour (compare Old French routeeur (c1170)) < roter to play the rote (late 12th cent., in Old French also as router ; < rote rote n.2; compare Middle French rotoier (a1425)) + -our -our suffix.Apparently attested earlier in surnames: Hug. Rotur (1272), Will. Rutour (1301), Joh. le Roteur (1332), although it is unclear whether these (if they reflect this word at all) should be interpreted as reflecting the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word. Compare also apparent early variants of the surname with final -er , -ir , etc.: Will. le Ruter (1212), Mabilla Rotyr (1332). However, compare also router n.1
Now historical and rare.
A person who plays the rote (rote n.2).In quot. c1475 perhaps an error for riotour (see riotor n. 1).
