Etymology edit
The origin is uncertain. Originally a dialectal word.
Perhaps connected with Old Czech šantrok, šаntrосha (“cheater”), from Middle High German santrocke (“fraud”).[1][2]
Alternatively, from French chantera pas (“will not sing”), said about serfs' children which were not chosen for the landowner's choir.[3]
