Этимология (Английский)

Perhaps from the term gypsy (“Roma”), due to a stereotype of the Roma as swindlers. Compare jew (“defraud”), from Jew, and welsh (“swindle by defaulting on a debt”), from Welsh.
Could also be derived from dupe, with the same pattern (yod coalescence) as idiot becomes eejit in Scottish English.
