† callymoochern.

Forms: 1600s callimoother, 1600s callymoocher.

Origin: Of unknown origin.

Etymology: Origin unknown; apparently a fanciful formation (compare similarly in Middleton's plays e.g. smazky adj., babliaminy n., budgelling n., etc.). With the form callymoocher in the printed edition perhaps compare moocher n., although this is either an error for or emendation of the manuscript form callimoother, the origin of which is unknown.

Obsolete. rare.

Used as a depreciative term, of uncertain meaning; perhaps either ‘a raw, inexperienced person, a novice’ or ‘a usurper’.
