释义

tinklern.1

Brit. /ˈtɪŋklə/, /ˈtɪŋkl̩ə/, U.S. /ˈtɪŋk(ə)lər/, Scottish English /ˈtɪŋklər/, Irish English /ˈtɪŋklər/
Forms: early Middle English tinclere, early Middle English tinkelere, early Middle English tyncklere, early Middle English tyncler, early Middle English tynclere, Middle English tynkeler, Middle English tynkler, Middle English–1500s tinkeler, Middle English– tinkler, 1800s tinckler (English regional (Yorkshire)); Scottish pre-1700 tinchler, pre-1700 tincklar, pre-1700 tinckler, pre-1700 tinclair, pre-1700 tinclar, pre-1700 tinclear, pre-1700 tincler, pre-1700 tinglar, pre-1700 tinklair, pre-1700 tinklar, pre-1700 tinkler, pre-1700 trincler (probably transmission error), pre-1700 tynclare, pre-1700 tynekler, pre-1700 tynklar, pre-1700 tynkler.
Origin: Either (i) a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: tinker n.1; tink v.1, -er suffix1.
Etymology: Either (i) a variant or alteration of tinker n.1 (compare pedder n. alongside peddler , variant of pedlar n.1), or < tink v.1 (although this is first attested later) + an extended form of -er suffix1 (see note). Compare later tinkle v.2In either case the suffix is perhaps modelled on other nouns for occupations ending in -ler , in which the l is part of the stem (e.g. needler n., whistler n.), but may also (or alternatively) be influenced by -le suffix 3. In Scots use, tinkler n.1 is attested significantly earlier than tinker n.1 (compare the discussion at that entry). On the date of tink v.1 compare the discussion at that entry. In later use often associated with tinkle v.1 2 and tinkle n.
Chiefly Scottish, Irish English (northern), and English regional (northern). Now historical.
