Etymology: "Schynnere" is a Middle English spelling, and it is most likely an agent noun built from the verb "shinen," meaning "to shine," with the suffix "-ere," which marks a person or thing that performs the action. The verb descends from Old English "scinan," so the word's core sense would have been something like "one who shines" or "a shining thing."
