/ˈhʌkstə(r)//ˈhʌkstər/The word "huckster" has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. It is believed to have originated from the surname "Hucksters", which was common among German and Dutch immigrant families in America. In the 1600s, hucksters were peddlers who traveled from town to town selling goods, often without a fixed location or fixed prices. They were known for their convincing sales techniques and ability to negotiate prices. Over time, the term "huckster" took on a more negative connotation, implying a smooth-talking salesman who prioritized profit over honesty. In the 19th century, writers like Mark Twain and Theodore Dreiser used the term to describe confidence men and charlatans. Today, "huckster" is often used to describe someone who uses persuasive but questionable tactics to make a sale or advance their interests.
