Vermin Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Vermin (or varmint or varmit) is a term applied to various animal species regarded as pests or nuisances and especially to those associated with the carrying of disease. Since the term is defined in relation to human activities, which species are included will vary from area to area and person to person. The term derives from the Latin vermis (worm), and was originally used for the worm-like larvae of certain insects, many of which infest foodstuffs. The term 'varmint' (and 'vermint') has been found in sources from ca. 1530-1540s.
