Batoneer

/ˌbætəˈnɪr/ noun

Definition

A baton twirler; someone who performs with a baton in parades, competitions, or entertainment.

Etymology

From French 'baton' (stick) plus the suffix '-eer' (one who does). The '-eer' suffix was borrowed from French and German to indicate a professional or skilled practitioner.

Kelly Says

Majorettes and baton twisters developed their art form from medieval military drummajors who used decorated sticks to signal soldiers—now it's become an athletic art form where athletes throw multi-pound metal batons high in the air and somehow catch them without looking.
