The origin is shrouded in mystery, but it seems the word may have come from the "secret language" Shelta, spoken by Irish and Welsh tinkers (travelling salesmen) and gypsies in 19th century. The word appears in Australia a little ahead of its common use in Britain, perhaps because of the more egalitarian nature of Australian society (more likely to mix with gypsies) or because of the high proportion of people from Ireland in the population.
Ultimately the word may have originated from Hindi loke, a man. Romany, the Gypsy language, originated in India.
