Etymology of FINAGLES

The word finagles is derived from the verb finagle, which originated in the mid-19th century. Finagle itself is believed to be an alteration of the word fainaigue or fainéant, which were French terms used to describe someone who is idle, lazy, or evading work. The exact path of its etymology is not entirely clear, but it is speculated that finagle was either borrowed directly from French or developed independently through regional dialects.
