单词 smithier
释义

smithiern.

Forms: Middle English smethier, Middle English smythiere, Middle English smythyer, Middle English–1500s smythier, 1800s smithier.
Origin: Probably formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: smith v., -ier suffix; smith v., -er suffix1.
Etymology: Probably either (i) < smith v. + -ier suffix, or (ii) < smith v. (compare variants in -ie , -ye at that entry) + -er suffix1. Compare later smithy v. and see note at that entry. Compare also earlier smith n. and later smither n.Quots. 1379 and 1384 appear to refer to the same individual. In quot. c1450 perhaps intended in the specific sense ‘female smith’; compare Middle French -iere , feminine suffix corresponding to -ier -ier suffix 1. The remaining instances of this word before 1600 occur in the context of the wire-making industry in Coventry.
Obsolete.
A person who works with iron or other metals; a smith. Also figurative.Attested earliest as a surname.Apparently revived as an archaism in the 19th cent.
ΘΚΠ
society > occupation and work > worker > workers according to type of work > manual or industrial worker > workers with specific materials > metalworker > [noun] > forger or smith
