Origin: Of uncertain origin. Probably partly a borrowing from French. Probably partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: French coustellier ; custron n.
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Probably partly (i) < Middle French coustellier, coustillier, coustiller soldier armed with a custil, servant to a knight or man-at-arms (c1460; see note), with metathesis, probably as a result of association with words in -rel suffix, and partly (ii) a variant (with suffix substitution: compare -rel suffix, -el suffix2) of custron n. (compare forms at that entry).Middle French coustellier (French †coustellier , †coustillier ) is < coustelle , coustille custil n. + -ier -ier suffix; compare also Middle French coustilleur (15th cent.) in same sense, with suffix substitution. With the depreciative sense 2, which is chiefly attested in β. forms, compare custron n. 1.
1. A servant or attendant to a knight or man-at-arms; esp. one who is a member of a man-at-arms's lance (lance n.1 4b) and is armed with a custil or coutel (cf. custil n., coutel n.). Now historical.
