Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Horsecoursernoun
Etymology: horse and courser. Franciscus Junius derives it from horse and cose, an old Scotch word, which signifies to change; and it should therefore, he thinks, be writ horsecoser. The word now used in Scotland is horsecouper, to denote a jockey, seller, or rather changer of horses. It may well be derived from course, as he that sells horses may be supposed to course or exercise them.
A servant to a horsecourser was thrown off his horse. Richard Wiseman.
A Florentine bought a horse for so many crowns, upon condition to pay half down: the horsecourser comes to him next morning for the remainder. Roger L'Estrange.
