Definition
One who practices chicane or deception; a person who engages in trickery or double-dealing.
Etymology
From 'chicane' (deception) with the agent suffix '-er,' describing a person characterized by trickery and underhanded dealings.
Kelly Says
In 17th-century card games, a 'chicaner' was someone who cheated with fancy moves and sleight of hand—the word shows how games and trickery were so connected that the card cheat's name described all deceptive people!
