bamboozlev.

/bamˈbuːz(ə)l/

Forms: Also 1700s bambouzle.

Etymology: Appears about 1700; mentioned in the Tatler No. 230 (on ‘the continual Corruption of our English Tongue’) among other slang terms (banter, put, kidney, sham, mob, bubble, bully, etc.) recently invented or brought into vogue. Probably therefore of cant origin; the statement that it is a Gipsy word wants proof. Compare the similar bom-, bumbaze, in Scots writers since c1725, and bam in more recent use.
