† bum-cardn.

Forms: 1500s bumbe-carde, 1500s bumme-carde, 1500s–1700s bum-card, 1600s bun-card.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: English bum- , card n.²

Etymology: < bum- (compare bumleaf n. and see note) + card n.²Although the identity and origin of the first element are both unknown, it appears to be reflected at a similar date and in a similar context in bumleaf n. It is possible that the element bum- in these formations refers to a technique of illicitly causing a card or page (or a part thereof) to protrude, enabling the conjuror or card-player to identify it by touch, which might suggest connection with apparently imitative formations such as bump n.² and bum n.¹ (see discussion at that entry). However, neither of these nouns shows a closely connected sense, and evidence to support this conjecture is lacking.

Obsolete.

A marked playing card, used to enable a player to cheat or to facilitate conjuring tricks. Also figurative. See marked adj. 1b.
