Also bowcer, bowsier. [Derivation uncertain: perhaps a corruption of AF. bourser, OF. boursier, BURSAR, f. bourse, purse.

1   Notwithstanding the form bowcer, and the agreement in sense with BOWCHER, the two words can hardly be identical, since there was no OF. boucier, bouchier, with suitable sense. But the two bowser and bowger, (bowcher) may have been confused in English.]

2   A treasurer, bursar. Hence Bowsery, a bursar’s office, a bursary.
