botcher
Where it comes from
From Middle English bocchere, bochchare, equivalent to botch + -er.
noun botchers
- A person who mends things, especially such a cobbler or tailor. Two faults, madonna, that drink and good counsel will amend: for give the dry fool drink, then is the fool not dry; bid the dishonest man mend himself: if he mend, he is no longer dishonest; if he cannot, let the botcher mend him.
- chairmaker
- A clumsy or incompetent worker; a bungler. Dilettanteism presupposes art as botchwork does handicraft; and the Dilettante holds the same relation to the artist that the botcher does to the craftsman.
- A young salmon; a grilse.
