Definition

From the expression I'd rather (“I would prefer to”), often pronounced "I druther" in some dialects.

Maybe I’m seven kinds of a darned fool but I ain’t quittin’ on Bill’s druthers--until I have to quit.” Skeeter Bill’s range training had taught him to awaken at any unusual sound, but he slept right through until the light of a false-dawn painted the hills for a few minutes. — Skeeter Bill comes to town, W. C. (Wilbur C.) Tuttle
