bodgern.²

Brit.

/ˈbɒdʒə/, U.S.

/ˈbɑdʒər/

Forms: 1900s botcher, 1900s– bodger, 1900s– boger.

Origin: Probably a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: bodger n.¹

Etymology: Probably a specific use of bodger n.¹ (perhaps originally reflecting a negative attitude towards the craft).Compare the mention of the variant botcher in the following early discussion, which may further support a relationship with bodger n.¹ (unless it is itself the result of folk etymology):1922 Antiques (Boston) Feb. 74/1 They are called bodgers or botchers, and it may be owing to their rough work that the meaning of that word has been extended.

Originally English regional (chiefly Buckinghamshire).

Originally (more fully chair bodger): a person who makes legs or other components for chairs using a pole-lathe, typically one living and working in the woodland (now chiefly historical). Later sometimes more generally: a person skilled in traditional woodworking, esp. a woodturner.

ΚΠ

1911 G. Eland Chilterns & Vale vi. 137 The purchaser then employs the ‘bodger’ to turn it [sc. a ‘fall’ of beech] into chair-legs.

1911 G. Eland Chilterns & Vale vi. 136 The men who thus work in the woods are called ‘chair-bodgers’.

1921 K. S. Woods Rural Industries round Oxf. ii. i. 102 Most village turners or ‘chair bodgers’ confine themselves to the making of legs which they sell to the factories, mainly at Wycombe.

1999 T. Quinn & P. Felix Last of Line 71 Traditionally pole-latheing was winter work—chair bodgers did other things in summer.

2001 Aberdeen Press & Jrnl. (Nexis) 25 May 6 A wooden xylophone and chime bars made by [a] local bodger.

2008 U. McGovern Lost Crafts 285 The bodgers selected timber from coppiced woodland and usually carried out all the stages of their part of the chair-manufacturing process right there.
