throwern.

Brit.

/ˈθrəʊə/, U.S.

/ˈθroʊər/

Forms: see throw v.¹ and -er suffix¹; also (as surname) early Middle English threwere (perhaps transmission error), early Middle English twrawer' (transmission error), Middle English trower, Middle English trowere.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: throw v.¹, -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < throw v.¹ + -er suffix¹. With sense 2a compare earlier throwster n.Attested early as an occupational surname, although in many cases it is unclear whether it refers to a wood turner (see sense 1a) or a silk spinner (see sense 2a); compare e.g. William le Thrower (1282), Simon le Throwere (1293), etc. Potential earlier use. Significantly earlier currency (apparently in sense ‘perverse person’; in quot. in dative plural) is perhaps shown by the following example:OE Arundel Psalter xvii. 27 Et cum electo electus eris et cum peruerso peruerteris : mid gecorenum gecoren þu bist & mid þrawerum [eOE Royal Psalter mid ferhwyrfedum, OE Stowe Psalter mid þweorum, OE Vitellius Psalter mid ðrowerum] forcirred.However, this is more likely to show an error for þweorum , dative singular masculine of þweorh perverse (see thwart adv., prep., and adj., and compare the variant reading of the Stowe Psalter) or perhaps for þrawenum , dative singular masculine of þrawen twisted (past participle of throw v.¹).

a. A person who turns wood or wooden objects on a lathe; = turner n.¹ 1a. Cf. throw v.¹ 7a. In later use historical and rare.Recorded earliest as a surname.
