词源
ringer(n.) “bell-ringer, one employed to ring church or processional bells,” early 15c. (c. 1200 as a surname), agent noun from ring (v.1). An early 13c. text has belle ringestre “nun who rings the convent bell.”
In quoits (and by extension, horseshoes), “a throw cast so as to encircle the pin,” from 1863, from ring (v.2).
Expression be a dead ringer for “resemble closely” (1891) preserves ringer in the horse-racing slang sense of “a fast horse entered fraudulently in a race in place of a slow one.” The verb to ring in reference to this is attested from 1812, possibly from British ring in “substitute, exchange,” via ring the changes, “substitute counterfeit money for good,” a pun on ring the changes in the sense of “play the regular series of variations in a peal of bells” (1610s). The meaning “an expert” is recorded from 1918, Australian slang, from earlier meaning “man who shears the most sheep per day” (1871).also from early 15c.

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
ringer(n.) “敲钟人,受雇敲响教堂或游行钟声的人”,15 世纪早期。 (c. 1200 作为姓氏),来自环的代理名词(v.1)。 13世纪初期。文本内容为“敲响修道院钟声的修女”。在环圈(以及引申出来的马蹄铁)中,“抛投以环绕销钉”,出自 1863 年,摘自《环》(第 2 节)。表达“be”与“非常相似”(1891)非常相似,保留了赛马俚语中的“一匹快马以欺诈手段代替一匹慢马参加比赛”的意义。与此有关的动词 toring 从 1812 年就得到证实,可能来自英国的“ring”,意思是“替代、交换”,通过“ring thechanges”,“用假币代替好钱”,“ringthechanges”的双关语,意思是“在钟声中演奏一系列规则的变奏曲”(1610 年代)。 “专家”的意思是从 1918 年澳大利亚俚语中记录下来的,早期的意思是“每天剪羊毛最多的人”(1871 年),也从 15 世纪早期开始。
