Word origin
The word 'scorcher' originated in the early 19th century, with its first recorded use in 1822. It derives from the verb 'scorch,' meaning to burn the surface of something with a sudden, intense heat. Over time, 'scorcher' has evolved to represent both extreme weather conditions and a type of fast bicycle.
