单词 fooker
释义

fookern.

Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. Partly from a proper name. Perhaps also partly a borrowing from German. Etymons: proper name Fooker; German Fucker.
Etymology: Partly (i) < Fooker (also Fouker , Fowker , etc.), English form of the German surname Fugger , and perhaps also partly (ii) < early modern German Fucker monopolist, corrupt dealer, engrosser (for both, see fogger n.1 and compare discussion at that entry), perhaps punningly after fucker n. Compare earlier fogger n.1, and also earlier fulker n. and later fowker n.Compare the following example of the surname:1579 G. Fenton tr. F. Guicciardini Hist. Guicciardin ix. 484 The difficulties that were in the Pope to send them money for that the Fookers bankiers of Germanye..shronke backe for feare to offend Cæsar.In quot. 1607 in imitation of the speech of a German-speaker.
Obsolete.
A financier; a wealthy capitalist; (also) an engrosser (engrosser n. 1).In quots. apparently used for comic effect, perhaps as a double entendre with fucker n.
