Gaberlunzie

Gaberlunzie, an old Scotch term for a beggar, from his wallet. The word is no doubt originally of the same origin as the English gabardine, 'a cloak,' from the Spanish gaban; the second part the same as loin, the part on which the wallet rests. There is extant a fine old ballad of a young lover who gained access to his mistress through adopting the disguise of the gaberlunzie-man.
