ochidore (See quot., which appears to be the only authority for the word.)
1861C. Kingsley Westward Ho ii, ‘O! the ochidore! look to the blue ochidore! Who've put ochidore to maister's pole?’ It was too true: neatly inserted between his neck, and his collar as he stooped forward, was a large live shore-crab, holding on tight with both hands. (It does not appear whence Kingsley got this name. One old fisherman, still alive at Clovelly, remembers that Kingsley so called the Spider-crab Maya Squinado (not the Shore-crab): but he never heard any one else do so.—Letter from Rev. T. L. Simkin, Rector of Clovelly, 10 Dec. 1901.) |
