/ˈbətn̩ər/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps originally modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: button v., -er suffix¹; button n., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: Partly (i) < button v. + -er suffix¹, perhaps originally after French boutonneur (1611 in Cotgrave: see quot. 1611 at sense 1a; rare), and partly (ii) < button n. + -er suffix¹.With sense 2 compare Anglo-Norman botoner, botener and Old French botonier, boutonnier (Middle French boutenier, bouttenier, boutonnier, French boutonnier) maker or seller of buttons (1260), in Anglo-Norman also button holder (c1376 or earlier). Early uses as a surname, e.g. Henry le Botuner (1265) and Reginaldus le Botaner (1275), reflect the Anglo-Norman word.

a. An implement for fastening buttons; a buttonhook. Also occasionally: a person who fastens the buttons of a garment. Frequently with modifying word, as shoe-buttoner, shirt-buttoner, etc. Now somewhat rare.
