单词 thrower
释义

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).
