Bumpkin
Bumpkin ({not transcribed}) , noun
[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; compare OD. boomken a little tree. See Boom a pole.]
An awkward, heavy country fellow; a clown; a country lout.
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.
