chaparder
French edit
Etymology edit
Uncertain. An early etymology, adopted by Littré, suggests that the verb came from Zouave slang, coined from chat + -pard (on the model of léopard), with the primary sense of 'to stalk', but this is unlikely.
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
chaparder
- (transitive) to pinch, pilfer
