  3. noun (archaic) A truncheon or staff carried by a king or commander, used to signal commands.

Etymology

From Middle English warder, wardere, perhaps in part continuing Old English weardere (“one who holds a country; inhabitant”), from Proto-West Germanic *wardārī (“guard, follower, watchman, lookout”), equivalent to ward + -er. Cognate with Dutch waarder (“inspector”), German Low German Wärder (“guard, watchman”), German Wärter (“guard, keeper, attendant”).

From Middle English warder, wardere, also as Middle English warderer, warderere, probably a derivative of Etymology 1 above.

Habitational surname, from the village of Wardour, Wiltshire, named with Old English weard (“guard”) + ōra (“bank, slope”).

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun One who wards or keeps; a keeper; a guard. "The warders of the gate." Dryden.
  2. noun A truncheon or staff carried by a king or a commander in chief, and used in signaling his will.
