Etymology
The term 'bunkoed' is derived from the slang term 'bunco,' which refers to a type of swindle or con game. The word 'bunco' originated in the late 19th century, likely as an adaptation of the Spanish word 'banco,' meaning bank, indicating a fraudulent scheme involving money. Over the years, 'bunco' evolved to describe various scams and tricks, leading to the verb form 'bunkoed' to signify the action of being deceived or defrauded. The usage of 'bunko' and its derivatives became popular in American English, particularly in discussions about gambling and con artistry.
