bug huntern.

Brit.

/ˈbʌɡ ˌhʌntə/, U.S.

/ˈbəɡ ˌhən(t)ər/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: bug n.², hunter n.

Etymology: < bug n.² + hunter n. The motivation for use in senses 1, 2, and 3 is uncertain. With sense 3 perhaps compare very limited evidence for bug in the meaning ‘drunkard’ in Australia in the early 20th cent., although this may be inferred or reflect a back-formation from sense 3.

†1. slang. In quot.: a con man who uses a sale of the contents of a deceased person's house as a front to auction inferior quality furniture from elsewhere. Obsolete. rare.
