'botcher' originates from English, specifically formed from the verb 'botch' with the agent suffix '-er' (meaning 'one who botches').

'botch' changed from Middle English forms such as 'botchen' (a verb meaning roughly to patch or mend) and eventually became modern English 'botch', with the agent noun 'botcher' developing later.

Initially it meant 'to mend or patch roughly', but over time it evolved into its current sense of 'to do something badly or muddle a job.'
