Strumpet

Filed Under S 

OK, so I am fond of the images it conjures… Philology wise, I would like to think the origins came from “strum” and “crumpet,” though I suspect otherwise. To Strum - to play or lightly touch. A crumpet - a nice soft muffin. Obviously then, a strumpet must be someone encompassing both these attributes - maybe someone you would even hire. Strumpet even contains “trumpet” for those who would have the “brass” and boldness to carry this title.
