An archaic or obsolete term for a worthless or contemptible person, or historically, a type of bit or piece of metal used in equipment.
From Old English or Middle English, possibly related to 'bit' (a small piece). The term is extremely rare and appears primarily in historical texts and dictionaries of archaic vocabulary.
'Bitore' is a word so old and obscure that it barely appears in modern English—finding it in actual historical documents is like archaeological excavation, revealing how people expressed contempt centuries ago with completely different vocabulary.
