I have run out of ideas;and researching hasn't helped me find a word within the word which has the same meaning. I have discovered some interesting information about it though. It comes from Yiddish, which is a European language derived from German and Hebrew. The original meaning was a person who was 'homeless' and now has come to mean a 'evil' or 'mischievous'. It could also be used in a romanitized way as 'villian'.
Hi Martha, I think #3 is louse
JOESPHINE: Good idea, but Martha was correct;-)
