SCAMP

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 287 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCAMP , an idle, worthless
rascal
 ; in earlier (18th cent.) usage especially applied as a cant
term
  for a
highway
  robber, a foot-pad, later of one who incurs debts and
decamps
  without paying them. The word appears to be derived from a shortened form of " scamper," to run away, decamp, to move quickly or nimbly; which is generally taken to be a military
slang
  word
i It was formerly called diagrydion, probably from Sarspu, a
tear
 , in allusion to the manner in which the juice exudes from the incised root.adapted from Dutch schampen, to escape; O.Fr. escamper; Ital. scampare; Lat. ex, out of, campus,
field
  of
battle
 , hence a vagabond deserter. This word must be distinguished from " scamp," to do
work
  in a hasty, careless manner, which is apparently
a variant of " skimp," " skimpy," and is to be referred to the root seen in O. Nor. skammr, short; Dig. " scant."
