Word origin

From a dialectal variation of scrimp, probably from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German schrimpen (“to shrivel up, shrink”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *skrimpaną, *skrimbaną (“to shrink”), related to Old English sċrimman (“to shrink, draw up, contract”). Related to dialectal English skrammed (“benumbed, paralysed”), English shrimp.

Used in a sentence

  • Scrumping itself is a mot juste of unusual economy. It doesn’t just mean stealing: it specifically means stealing apples and only apples.
