Nguồn gốc từ

US American carnival slang of origin. Possibly from scamp (swindler, cheater) or Irish cam (crooked). Also possibly from skam; if so, it would be a shame sham. First use appears c. 1963 in the periodical Time. The word became common use among the US drug culture when in early 1980, after Operation ABSCAM, an FBI sting operation directed at public officials, became public.
