BATTERS Meaning and
Definition
-
Batters, in the context of sports, primarily refers to players in games like baseball or cricket who occupy the position of batting and take their turn to hit the ball. In baseball, batters have the responsibility to face the opposing pitcher and attempt to hit the ball into play to advance their team's runners or score runs. They typically stand in a designated area known as the batter's box and aim to make contact with the pitched ball using a bat. The success of a batter is often measured by factors such as their batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage.
Similarly, in cricket, batters are crucial participants in the game. They aim to score runs by striking the ball with a cricket bat and running between the creases at either end of the pitch. Batters in cricket face bowlers who try to dismiss them by hitting the stumps or inducing them to commit an error that results in an out. Batters in both sports must possess various skills such as hand-eye coordination, timing, and the ability to assess the game situation and adjust their approach accordingly.
Beyond sports, the term "batters" can also pertain to cooking. It refers to mixtures made by combining various ingredients, typically including flour, liquid, and eggs, to create a thick consistency. Batters serve as the base for various dishes such as pancakes, cakes, waffles, or even the coating for deep-fried food items. The specific ingredients and proportions used in a batter vary depending on the desired outcome and the recipe being followed.

Etymology of BATTERS
The word "batters" has multiple etymological origins depending on its different meanings.
1. As a verb meaning to strike or beat forcefully, especially repeatedly (as in "he batters the door down"), it derives from the Middle English word "bateren", which comes from the Old French word "battre", meaning "to beat". This word ultimately traces back to the Late Latin word "battuere".
2. As a noun referring to a mixture used in cooking to coat food before frying or baking, such as in pancake batters or cake batters, it comes from the Old English word "batere", meaning "to beat" or "to whip". This links back to the same Middle English and Old French roots mentioned earlier.
