Opinion is divided on the origin of the term. "Chav" may have its origins in the Romani word "chavi" ("child") or "chaval" ("boy"), which later came to mean "man". [3] [8] [9] The word "chavvy" has existed since at least the 19th century; lexicographer Eric Partridge mentions it in his 1950 dictionary of slang and unconventional English, giving its date of origin as c. 1860.
chav – an anti-social youth (from chavi "child") [1] [2]; cosh – a weapon, truncheon, baton (from košter "stick"); cove – British-English colloquial term meaning a person or chap (from kova "that person")
