Origin: Apparently either (i) a borrowing from Dutch. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Dutch roerbak ; row v.³, -er suffix¹, back n.²

Etymology: Apparently either < Dutch roerbak (although this is first attested later: 18th cent. with reference to papermaking; < roeren to stir (see rore v.) + bak trough, tub: see back n.²), or < row v.³ + -er suffix¹ + back n.² (although this is also attested later). Compare rowed adj.² and quot. 1641 at row v.³ 1. Compare earlier roaring basket n. at roaring n.²

Now historical and rare.
