Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French somenor.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman somenor, somenour, somoner, somonour, sumenour, somneur, somnour, sumnour (compare Old French somoneor , semoneor , Old French, Middle French semoneur ; Middle French, French †semonneur ) minor official who notifies a person to appear in court (c1100), (in extended use) person who issues an invitation (early 15th cent.) < the stem of somondre summon v. + -our -er suffix2. Compare summonder n.Specific forms. The β. forms reflect loss of the unstressed medial vowel. The γ. forms (which do not have a parallel in French) reflect the development of an epenthetic glide consonant in the cluster -mn- . With forms in -or and -our compare -or suffix and -our suffix. Earlier use as surname. Attested earlier as a surname (frequently from the end of the 12th cent. in British sources, e.g. Robert le Sumonur (1199), Matthew le Sumener (1230), Milone le Sumenur (1246–7), William le Sumnir (1279)), although such early examples may reflect currency of the Anglo-Norman rather than the Middle English word.
