"Leprechaun" is popularly credited as being from the Gaelic word "leipreachán", meaning "a pigmy, a sprite, or luchorpán, which means a kind of aqueous sprite". The word is also defined as meaning "half-bodied" or "small-bodied". See the Collins English Dictionary. The Oxford Dictionary quotes leath bhrógan as the original word, which means shoe-maker, and this makes sense since the leprechaun is known as the fairy shoemaker of Ireland and is often portrayed working on a single shoe, much like the fairytale of the Poor Shoemaker.
What should you never do if you catch a leprechaun?
You should take his gold, you shouldn't look away from him. Leprachauns can run away when your not looking. You also shouldn't shoot him, cause then you wont get his gold (or in many cases his Lucky Charms). You are entitled to three wishes but that is all. Three wishes you get, three wishes great or small, but wish a fourth you lose them all.
How do you catch a leprechaun?
You can make a trap with common household items. Take a net, a cardboard box, green paint, green tissue paper, some pennies and an old shoe. Firstly, paint the cardboard box green and place the old shoe inside. Cover the opening with thin green tissue paper. Carefully lay the pennies on the tissue paper. (If you don't want to use real money, you can easily substitute chocolate gold- wrapped coins or make your own by cutting circles out of cardboard and painting them gold). Place the trap near some trees or hedgerows. Make sure it's disguised well and blends into the surroundings. When the Leprechaun sees the coins he will try to collect them. He will step onto the tissue paper, it will break and he will fall into the box. Now quickly throw the net over him. You can also try to lure a leprechaun with some poteen instead of an old shoe. When he falls into the box he will drink the brew, get drunk and then you can grab him.
