Origin:
The word "swindler" originates from the Middle Dutch word swindelaere, which itself is derived from the verb swindelen meaning "to cheat." The practice of swindling has been around for centuries, and the term has been used to describe fraudsters and con artists since at least the Middle Ages.
In the 16th century, the word "swindler" was adopted into English, and it has since become a common term for a person who engages in fraudulent activities. Swindlers often use various methods to deceive their victims, such as false promises, forged documents, or misleading sales pitches.
The term "swindler" has also been used figuratively to describe someone who is dishonest or untrustworthy. For example, a politician who makes empty promises could be referred to as a "political swindler."
