What is the origon of scam? I know it started as to be fashionably bandied about in the 80's but is it just another of those rediscovered words that grabs the imagination at the time? — This unsigned comment was added by Chasludo (talk • contribs) at 15:47, 6 January 2009.
I don't know the origin of "scam", but it's interesting to compare with French escamoter and Spanish escamotear. The root "scam" is present in those, and the meanings are vaguely similar. (In fact, similar enough, that one would guess the words are all related). Sdarwin2 (talk) 11:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
