1650年代作为一种外科手术器械; 1760年作为“取下头皮的人”,是从scalp(v.)派生的代词。
“以非法价格转售门票以获利的人”一词最早见于1869年的美国英语; 最早的参考是戏剧门票,但它更常用于19世纪末出售未使用的铁路票据的经纪人。
铁路公司对长途票据的每英里收费较少; 一个从纽约到芝加哥的人可以买一张到旧金山的票,下车在芝加哥卖给一个 scalper,比他只买一张到芝加哥的票更便宜。芝加哥的 scalper 会一直持有这张票,直到他找到需要去旧金山的人,然后以略高于成本但低于官方价格的价格出售。
也许这是从某种意义上的scalp(v.)派生而来; scalper 在19世纪末是“骗子,欺诈者”的通用术语。或者,连接的意义是针对某些破坏性动物的头皮提供的赏金(从1703年开始在新英格兰得到证实),而概念是“只持有某物的一部分,但仍然获得奖励的人”。然而,有些人认为这与外科手术器械scalpel有关。
