Definitions

  1. (sometimes offensive) a homeless boy who has been abandoned and roams the streets

Word origin

Borrowed from French gamin (“a street urchin; a young boy”), apparently an “eastern dialect” word of unknown origin.

Used in a sentence

  • Here, in front, the deserted street was white and black and silent, under the electric lamps. All the lonelier for two wretched gamins, counting their dirty sous, and draggled newspapers.
  • Then—far-off music and excitement. Faces at the windows. Naked yellow gamins begin to dance. [...] Down the square the procession goes, followed by the music, turns a corner, and is lost. The gamins leave off dancing.
