Bocher

/ˈboʊtʃər/ noun

Definition

A dialectal or regional term, possibly referring to someone who plays bocce, or a historical butcher-related term in certain English dialects.

Etymology

Possibly derived from boccia (one who plays bocce) or from Middle English 'bocher' meaning butcher; the etymology is uncertain without more context.

Kelly Says

Bocher is so rare in modern English that its true origin is hard to trace—it might be a ghost word that persists only in old texts or regional speech patterns.
