Badger (person)
A Badger was, in English, a term of uncertain derivation (possibly derived from bagger, a bag or person carrying one) for a dealer in food or victuals which he had purchased in one place and carried for sale in another place. OED gives the earliest entry as being from Bristol in 1500, but there were bager(s)gates at York in 1243 and in Lincoln in by 1252.
