单词 entermeter
释义

entermetern.

Forms:

α. late Middle English entyremetowr, late Middle English entyrmentowre; Sc. pre-1700 entermettour.

β. late Middle English entermeter, late Middle English entremyttere.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: entermete v., -er suffix1.
Etymology: < entermete v. + -er suffix1, after Anglo-Norman entremetour, entremettour and Middle French entremeteur, entremetteur (French entremetteur) intermediary, agent, broker (early 14th cent.), in Anglo-Norman also meddler, busybody (early 15th cent. or earlier).With the α. forms compare -our suffix. The form entyrmentowre shows an epenthetic -n-, apparently arising by assimilation to the first syllable.
Obsolete.
A person who is involved in something, esp. on another's behalf; an intermediary; an agent or broker.In quot. a1500: a meddler.
