dragooner

释义

† draˈgooner Obs.
Also 7 dragonier, -goner, -goneer, -gooneer.
[f. dragoon n. 1, or immediately from French. Cf. Ger. dragoner, in 17th c. also tragoner, draguner.
In German, the word was already in regular use in the Thirty Years War, and in 1617 was ridiculed as a ‘fremdwort’ or foreign word (Kluge). This, with the variant 17th c. English forms, and the fact that it was not a natural Eng. formation from dragoon, imply for the original a F. dragonnier ‘soldier armed with a dragoon or harquebus’, although this is not recorded in the dictionaries. OF. had dragonier in the sense ‘standard-bearer’, = med.L. dracōnārius.]
