† timoristn.

Forms: 1600s tymorist.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item; modelled on a proper name. Etymon: timist n.

Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps an alteration of timist n., perhaps fancifully after Timor (more usually Timur), the name of several Mongolian and Turkic rulers (most famously Timur-i-Leng, conventionally called Tamerlane in English: see Tamerlane n.).

Obsolete. rare.

Derivation and sense doubtful: the context appears to require ‘Timist, time-server’.
