Forms: 1700s– thrasher, 1800s thresher, 1800s thrusher.

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

Etymology: Probably an alteration of thrushel n. (compare -er suffix¹). With the form thresher compare the γ. forms at throstle n., and also thresh at thrush n.¹ Forms.

Any of various North American passerine birds of the family Mimidae, esp. of the genus Toxostoma, typically having greyish or brownish plumage, a slightly downcurved bill, and a loud repetitive call. Frequently with distinguishing word.See also brown-thrasher n., crissal thrasher, sage thrasher n.
