Bumpkin
(gcide) | Bumpkin \Bump"kin\, n. [The same word as bumkin, which Cotgrave
defines thus: "Bumkin, Fr. chicambault, the luffe-block, a
long and thick piece of wood, whereunto the fore-sayle and
sprit-sayle are fastened, when a ship goes by the winde."
Hence, a clumsy man may easily have been compared to such a
block of wood; cf. OD. boomken a little tree. See Boom a
pole.]
An awkward, heavy country fellow; a clown; a country lout.
"Bashful country bumpkins." --W. Irving.
