a club wielded as a weapon · a young rascal · a knave, a boy
çekim: çoğul Bengeln · tamlayan Bengels
eş: Lausejunge, Lausbub, Flegel
köken: From Middle High German bengel, from Old High German *bengil (“club", "stick", "hammer”), from Proto-West Germanic *bangil, from Proto-Germanic *bangilaz (“club, hammer”), from Proto-Germanic *bang- (“to beat”).
köken: From Persian شلوغ; likely ultimately from Arabic شُغْل (šuḡl), with the sense development 'work' → 'busy' → 'crowded, noisy' → 'mischievous, naughty'. The metathesis probably happened in Persian first.
köken: Univerbation of 어린 (eorin, “who is young”, realis adnominal form) + 이 (i, “person”), coined by Korean children's rights activist Bang Jeong-hwan, who felt that 애 (ae, “child”) did not sufficiently represent a child's personhood.
köken: Borrowed from Classical Persian بَچَّه (bačča), from Proto-Iranian *wacáh, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *watsás, from Proto-Indo-European *wetsós, from *wétos + *-ós. Doublet of बछड़ा (bachṛā, “calf, child, boy”).
synonym of huijata (“to trick, scam, swindle”) · synonym of huimata (“to feel dizzy”)
çekim: geçmiş huiputtanut · şimdiki huiputtaisi · ulaç huiputtava
köken: huipata + -uttaa. The sense “to trick, scam, swindle” may be a blend of huijata + peiputtaa, or perhaps most likely by semantic influence from Swedish svindla; another possibility is inspiration from a dialectal huipata (“to trade (without seeing the product being sold)”) (a variant of huijata and/or huikata influenced by the dialectal onomatopoeic verb huipata (“to toss, to strike”)).
rascal, urchin (a mischievous boy) · scoundrel (a person without honour or virtue) · chicken vendor
çekim: çoğul csibészek
köken: From csibe (“baby chicken”) + -ész (noun-forming suffix denoting an occupation). Its original meaning csibeárus (“chicken vendor”) is obsolete. The modern meaning was influenced by csirkefogó (“rascal, scoundrel”, literally “chicken-catcher”).
