Meaning

Created by Charles Dickens for the central character in his short novel A Christmas Carol (1843). He probably based it on the rare English word scrouge meaning “to squeeze”. In the book Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserly old man who is visited by three spirits who show him visions of his past, present and future. Since the book’s publication, scrooge has been used as a word to mean “miser, misanthrope”.
