单词 payer
释义

payern.

Brit. /ˈpeɪə/, U.S. /ˈpeɪər/
Forms: Middle English paier, Middle English paiere, Middle English payar, Middle English payare, Middle English payere, Middle English payȝere, Middle English– payer; Scottish pre-1700 payar, pre-1700 1700s– payer, 1900s– peyer.
Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: pay v.1, -er suffix1.
Etymology: < pay v.1 + -er suffix1, perhaps after Anglo-Norman paur and Middle French payeur, poieur (1245 in Old French (Picardy) as paiere; French payeur). Compare also post-classical Latin pacator payer, paymaster (13th cent. in British sources).Earlier currency is perhaps implied by the surname Robertus le Payour (1327), although it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as reflecting the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word.
A person who pays; esp. a person who pays a sum of money.Frequently as the second element of compounds, the first element being the thing paid, as tax-, ransom, rate, tithe payer: see the first element.
