古英语 wryhta, wrihta(北安布里亚语 wyrchta,肯特语 werhta)“工人”,早期变体为 wyhrta “制造者”,源自于 wyrcan “工作”(参见 work(v.))。现在通常用于组合词(wheelwright, playwright, 等)或作为姓氏。这是一个常见的西日耳曼语词汇; 与古撒克逊语 wurhito,古弗里西亚语 wrichta,古高地德语 wurhto 同源。
在来自古英语的单词中,元音和 -r- 的音位转换也可以在 thrash, thresh, third, thirty, bird, wrought 和 nostril 中看到。
Smith was the general term for a worker in metals, and wright for one who worked in wood, and other materials. Hence, in the later English period, smith (which, in Anglo-Saxon, when used without any characteristic addition, was understood as applying more particularly to the worker in iron,) became the particular name of a blacksmith, and wright of a carpenter, as it is still in Scotland. [Thomas Wright, "Anglo-Saxon and Old English Vocabularies," 1884]
Smith 是金属工人的通用术语, wright 是木工和其他材料的工人。因此,在后期的英语时期, smith(在盎格鲁-撒克逊语中,当没有任何特定的补充时,特别适用于铁匠)成为铁匠的特定名称, wright 成为木匠的名称,如今在苏格兰仍然如此。[托马斯·赖特,《盎格鲁-撒克逊语和古英语词汇》,1884年]
Middle English, from Old English wyrhta, wryhta worker, maker; akin to Old English weorc work — more at work
The first known use of wright was before the 12th century

1 In December 1903, the Wright Brothers had barely gotten off the ground and had flown shakily for 120 feet.
2 “But what happened with Mia had nothing to do with what happened to Warren,” Mrs. Wright broke in.
3 She was not completely certain what she would say to these Wrights, nor what information, precisely, she hoped to obtain from them.
4 But the letter that Gage received was not the letter that Governor Wright had written.
5 It was a disaster in the making, especially on the eve of the campaign launch and especially because Reverend Wright was scheduled to lead the invocation ahead of Barack's speech.

11 I don’t think he ever stopped to consider that the Wrights were about the only demons to whom I could have talked for any long period of time.
12 Mrs. Richardson asked on an impulse, and after a brief pause and the clacking of a keyboard, the woman replied that yes, a Mia Wright had been born in Bethel Park in 1962.
13 Wright felt weak and woozy, and was having trouble holding the horse.
14 But there had been a Mia Wright in the fall of 1980; might that be who Mrs. Richardson was looking for?
15 Oh, and there was also a Warren Wright born in 1964; was it possible Mrs. Richardson had her names mixed up?
16 But there was a mystery here, she knew, and she was equally sure the Wrights held the key to it.
17 Helene Wright was an impressive woman, at least in Medallion she was.
18 Eventually, Wright discovered the forgeries, but the Patriots’ trickery kept British gunboats away long enough for the revolution to take hold in Georgia.
