Tinker

The word is attested from the 13th century and may be of imitative origin.[1] Some travelling people and Gypsies adopted this lifestyle and the name was particularly associated with indigenous Irish and Scottish Travellers. However, this usage is disputed and considered offensive by some.[1] Tinkering is therefore the process of adapting, meddling or adjusting something in the course of making repairs or improvements, a process also known as bricolage. The term "little tinker" is now widely used in the UK as a term of endearment for a cheeky young child.[1] Some modern day nomads with an Irish, Scottish, or English influence call themselves "techno-tinkers" or "technogypsies" and are found to possess a revival of sorts of the romantic view of the tinker's lifestyle.[2] The family name "Tinker" is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and does not have an Irish or Romany connection.
