shittern.

Brit.

/ˈʃɪtə/, U.S.

/ˈʃɪdər/

Forms:

α. 1500s shytter (Scottish), 1700s 1900s– shitter.

β. 1600s 1800s– shiter /ˈʃʌɪtə/.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: shit v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < shit v. + -er suffix¹.Compare Old English scitere , of uncertain meaning: perhaps ‘sewer’ (apparently < *scite excrement (see shit n.) + -er suffix¹). The word is attested only in place names and in boundary markers in Anglo-Saxon charter bounds, chiefly, but not exclusively, denoting streams; compare:OE Bounds (Sawyer 1003) in D. Hooke Pre-Conquest Charter-bounds Devon & Cornwall (1994) 204 Niðer eft andlang exan þær sciter lacu ut scit. & swa up andlang sciter lace on þæs fleotes heafod.lOE Royal Charter: Æðelwulf to Church SS. Peter & Paul, Winchester (Sawyer 311) in W. de G. Birch Cartularium Saxonicum (1887) II. 76 Ad rivulum qui scitere dicitur.lOE Bounds (Sawyer 417) in W. de G. Birch Cartularium Saxonicum (1887) II. 379 Andlang weges on sciteres flodan.lOE Bounds (Sawyer 463) in W. de G.

(1976) III. 726 To yfemæstan leage, þonon forð ofer sciteres clif to hig wege.It is possible that some of these examples (especially those not obviously relating to streams, compare e.g. quots. lOE³, a1170) should be interpreted as showing scītere (with a long stem vowel ī ), and hence showing earlier currency of (β. forms of) shitter n. in sense ‘person who defecates’ (compare sense 1). See further E. Ekwall Eng. River-names (1928) 363–4, A. H. Smith Eng. Place-name Elements (1956) II. 112.
