Where it comes from
From Middle English blechere, equivalent to bleach + -er. Compare Dutch bleker, Swedish blekare. The seating was so named because the boards were bleached by the sun.
noun bleachers
- One who, or that which, bleaches.
- A stand of tiered planks used as seating for spectators, often outdoors. There could be a rough crowd out in the bleachers.
- The tiered seating provided for the audience at a television filming. In practice, audience members often have badly obstructed views of the sets—whether due to obstructive camera dollies and production personnel or viewers sitting in the bleachers off to the side of the set that is currently being used.
