Brit. /ˈkʌstr(ə)n/, U.S. /ˈkəstrən/
Forms: Middle English coystron, Middle English quysteroun, Middle English quystron, Middle English quystrone, Middle English qwistoune (transmission error), Middle English qwistsumnes (plural, transmission error), Middle English–1500s quystroun, Middle English (1800s Scottish (historical)) quisteroun, 1500s coustran, 1500s coystrowne, 1500s custrun, 1500s quystroune; Scottish pre-1700 costroun, pre-1700 coustroun, pre-1700 cuistroun, pre-1700 custrone, pre-1700 custroun, pre-1700 cwstroun, 1700s 1900s– custrin, 1700s– custron, 1800s custroune. N.E.D. (1893) also records a form Middle English qwistron.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French cuistron.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman cuistron, cuistroun, quistron, quistroun, Middle French coestron, coisteron, coistron, questron (compare Old French coistron , cuistron , (nominative case) coistre , cuestre ) assistant to a cook, scullion (1139 in Old French), knave, rogue, scoundrel (13th cent.), person born out of wedlock (13th cent.), probably < post-classical Latin cocistron- , cocistro (also cocistrion- , cocistrio ) shopkeeper (attested in undated glossaries), of uncertain origin; perhaps < coquester cook (attested in an undated glossary; < classical Latin coquus cook + -ester , in e.g. pedester : see pedestrial adj.) + classical Latin (see -oon suffix).In sense 2 probably partly by association with custrel n.
1. An assistant to a chef or cook; a kitchen servant, a scullion. Also in extended use, as a term of abuse: a man of low birth or status; a knave, a rogue, a scoundrel (cf. custrel n. 2). Now archaic (Scottish in later use).Although custron appears alongside knave in quot. c1400, the context is military, and it may instead represent a use of sense 2.
