clickern.

Brit.

/ˈklɪkə/, U.S.

/ˈklɪkər/

Forms: 1600s– clicker, 1800s cliquer (rare).

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: click v.¹, -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < click v.¹ + -er suffix¹. In sense 1a probably with allusion to the sound made by the leather-cutter's knife when cutting out the component pieces of a shoe or boot (especially using a metal-edged pattern or template). In sense 1b apparently a transferred use of sense 1a, reflecting an additional duty of the foreman shoemaker (compare quot. 1699 at sense 1a), although perhaps compare use of click v.¹ to denote speech or chatter (see quot. a1500 at click v.¹ 1a and etymological note at that entry), and possibly also click v.² The following earlier example apparently shows an independent formation < click v.² + -er suffix¹, with the sense ‘a person who grabs or clutches at something’:1651 H. More Second Lash of Alazonomastix 66 Thou art..such a clicker at the slightest shadows of similitude. The form cliquer reflects folk-etymological association with clique n.; compare quot. 1837 at sense 1a.

a. A foreman shoemaker who cuts out the leather for boots and shoes and distributes it among the workers. Also: a worker who cuts out (parts of) the uppers for boots and shoes.In quot. 1699: a foreman shoemaker who also solicits custom from passers-by (see sense 1b).
