Etymology of BUNCO

The word "bunco" has a rather convoluted etymology. Its origins can be traced back to the early 19th century, primarily in American English.

One theory suggests that "bunco" comes from an Italian card game called "banco", which means "bank". The game involved a group of players betting against the dealer. Some believe that gamblers or swindlers in the United States modified the Italian term to "bunco" to describe fraudulent schemes or rigged games.

Another theory traces the word's origin to the Spanish term "banca", which also means "bank". In this case, "bunco" may have been derived from Spanish-speaking individuals involved in confidence tricks.

Additionally, "bunco" might have been influenced by the expression "bunkum" or "buncombe".
