Etymons: Dutch rotmeester ; Middle Low German rōtemēster ; rot n.², master n.¹

Etymology: Originally < either Dutch rotmeester (Middle Dutch rotmeester ; < rot rot n.² + meester master n.¹) or its similarly-formed equivalent Middle Low German rōtemēster, with remodelling of the second element after master n.¹ In β. forms probably directly < rot n.² + master n.¹, after Dutch rotmeester, Middle Low German rotmēster, rotmeister, rōtemeister, and Swedish rotemästare (Old Swedish rotamästare ; itself < Middle Low German); compare German Rottmeister (mid 15th cent. as rothmeister , now historical). Compare later rot n.² Compare also later Rittmaster n., with which it sometimes seems to be confused.With the α. forms compare earlier rout n.¹
