diddlern.

Brit.

/ˈdɪdl̩ə/,

/ˈdɪdlə/, U.S.

/ˈdɪd(ə)lər/

Etymology: Of obscure origin.Found first in the name of ‘Jeremy Diddler’, the chief character in Kenney's farce, ‘Raising the Wind’, brought out in 1803. The name was of course intended to be contemptuous and ludicrous, and it seems probable that it was formed on diddle v.³ 1, or on the first element of the earlier diddle-daddle , diddle-dum (see diddle- comb. form); it is also probable that Jeremy Diddler's characteristic methods of ‘raising the wind’, by continually borrowing small sums which he does not pay back, and otherwise sponging upon people, gave rise to the current sense of the verb (diddle v.³ 2), of which ‘diddler’ is now naturally viewed as the agent-noun.

A mean swindler or cheat; one who diddles people out of what belongs to them.
