单词 | outparter |
释义 | outpartern. A spurious word, originally an error for outputter n., subsequently taken up in editions of the Statutes, and in legal and general dictionaries.Rastell's English translation of the Statutes (ed. 1543) reads in the Act of 1421 ‘felons called yntakers and outparters’, a misprint, which was however repeated in all editions previous to that of Ruffhead in 1763 (which retains ‘outparters’ in the text with ‘outputters’ in the margin). Hence ‘outparter’ was accepted as a genuine word by Cowell, who in his Interpreter further identified the ‘outparter’ with the thief, with which erroneous explanation the word has reappeared in Law Dictionaries down to Wharton, as well as in Phillips, Kersey, Bailey, Ash, Crabbe, Ogilvie's Imperial Dict., Cent. Dict., and Funk's Standard Dict., although it was omitted by Johnson and Webster. Wharton has also Outputer, with an explanation founded upon the latter part of Cowell's article, but making ‘man or house’ into ‘manor-house’. This last error is repeated in Cassell's Encycl. Dict., Ogilvie, and Cent. Dict. (all attributed to Cowell). In Hodgson, Hist. Northumbld. ii. I. 60, the ‘outparters’ of 1543 are rendered as ‘outpartners’, erroneously said to be used in the Supplication of 1421, which has Out-putters.
