Etymology
The term 'gipsied' stems from the word 'gipsy' (or 'gypsy'), which originally referred to the Romani people. The Romani were historically associated with a nomadic lifestyle and were often perceived as mysterious or otherworldly by settled populations. The connection between being a gipsy and trickery likely arises from stereotypes associated with the Romani, particularly in literature and folklore where they were depicted as cunning and deceptive. Over time, the term evolved into a more general slang expression for being deceived or misled, reflecting broader themes of trickery and cleverness in human interactions.
