Definition
A Scottish term for a man or fellow, or historically, an officer or chamberlain in a royal household.
Etymology
From Scottish English, possibly derived from 'chaumbre' or related to 'chamber' through French influence in Scottish legal and court terminology. The word evolved to mean a person of some authority or simply a male companion.
Kelly Says
Scottish English preserved this word even as English dropped it, showing how regional dialects can be like linguistic museums storing words from older English when speakers were more direct about calling each other by titles of office.
