Forms: see field n.¹ and -er suffix¹.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: field n.¹, -er suffix¹; field v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: Partly < field n.¹ + -er suffix¹, and partly < field v. + -er suffix¹.Earlier currency in sense 1 is perhaps shown by the surnames Richard le Feldere (1310), Galfr. le Felder (1327), although these may alternatively reflect a sense ‘person who dwells by a field’ (compare surnames cited at field n.¹). With sense 2 compare earlier fieldsman n. 2.
