1. Correctornoun

   Etymology: from correct.

   1. He that amends, or alters, by punishment or animadversion.

   How many does zeal urge rather to do justice on some sins, than to forbear all sin? How many rather to be correctors than practisers of religion. Thomas Sprat, Sermons.

   With all his faults he sets up to be an universal reformer and corrector of abuses, and a remover of grievances. Jonathan Swift.

   2. He that revises any thing to free it from faults; as the corrector of the press, that amends the errours committed in printing.

   I remember a person, who, by his style and literature, seems to have been the corrector of a hedge press in Little Britain, proceeding gradually to an author. Jonathan Swift.

   3. In medicine.Such an ingredient in a composition, as guards against or abates the force of another; as the lixivial salts prevent the grievous vellications of resinous purges, by dividing their particles, and preventing their adhesion to the intestinal membranes, whereby they sometimes occasion intolerable gripings; and as spices and carminative seeds also assist in the easier operation of some catharticks, by dissipating collections of wind. In making a medicine, such a thing is called a corrector which destroys or diminishes a quality that it could not otherwise be dispensed with: thus turpentines are correctors of quick-silver, by destroying its fluxility, and making it capable of mixture; and thus rectified spirit of wine breaks off the points of some acids, so as to make them become safe and good remedies, which before were destructive. John Quincy

1. Corrector

   A corrector (English plural correctors, Latin plural correctores) is a person or object practicing correction, usually by removing or rectifying errors. The word is originally a Roman title, corrector, derived from the Latin verb corrigere, meaning "to make straight, set right, bring into order." Apart from the general sense of anyone who corrects mistakes, it has been used as, or part of (some commonly shortened again to Corrector), various specific titles and offices, sometimes quite distant from the original meaning.
