Etymology: < tinker n.1 + an element of unknown origin. Compare slightly earlier tinker n.1 4a and later tinker n.1 4b.The β. forms apparently reflect an alteration of the second element after hue n.1, perhaps as a learned rationalization (quot. 1831 at sense 1 references the work cited in quot. 1802).
