Definition
A person who plays practical jokes and tricks on others for amusement.
Etymology
From 'prank' (of uncertain origin, possibly from Old English 'proncne' meaning showy or ostentatious) + '-ster' (one who does). The word developed to describe someone fond of mischievous tricks.
Kelly Says
The '-ster' suffix in 'prankster' is the same one used in 'youngster' and 'gangster'—it basically means 'a person known for doing that thing,' turning the verb 'prank' into a character type!
