Scorer Vad efternamn betyder
from Middle English scourer *scorer ‘one who cleanses or polishes items of metal wood earthenware etc. by rubbing hard with a detergent substance’.from Middle English scorer ‘one who cuts or makes lines on (something)’. The term may have had a number of specialized senses relating to different occupations. The only one on record is ‘one who marks trees to be cut down’ (MED before 1395). However the most common senses of the related Middle English verb scoren are ‘to mark (an item on a tally)’ hence ‘to compute to record or keep an account (of something)’ so scorer may sometimes have denoted ‘an accountant or record-keeper’. Compare Scotcher.
