Waif
A waif (from the Old French , )Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/waif (accessed: June 02, 2008) is a person removed, by hardship, loss or other helpless circumstance, from their original surroundings. The most common usage of the word is to designate a homeless, forsaken or orphaned child, or someone whose appearance is evocative of the same. As such, the term is similar to a :wikt:ragamuffin, ragamuffin or street urchin, although the main distinction is volitional: a runaway youth might live on the streets, but would not properly be called a waif as the departure from one's home was an exercise of free will. Likewise, a person fleeing their home for purposes of safety (as in response to political oppression or natural disaster), is typically considered not a waif but a refugee. Literature Orphaned children, left to fend for themselves, are common as literary protagonists, especially in children's and fantasy literatu ...

It was used in English from about the mid-19th century (for example, by William Makepeace Thackeray in 1840 in one of his Parisian sketches), but in the 20th century came to be applied in its more modern sense. Lexicography In 1997 the publisher HarperCollins drew up a list of 101 words – one a year – that defined the years 1896 to 1997. ''Gamine'' was chosen for 1899, being described by Philip Howard in ''The Times'' as follows: ''Gamine'' has been used particularly to describe women in the performing arts or world of fashion.
