picaro

Master Reynard, in that romance of the Middle Ages of which he is the hero, is something like a picaro.

The picaro was the fungus which grew out of this mass of corruption.

Most of them on leaving the Court uttered some invective against "the picaro who had sworn their lives away."

There was enough of the “picaro” in his countenance, to inspire me with confidence that he could be suborned for my purpose.

On this waste, and out of this rottenness, fattened and throve exceedingly the rank weed picaro.
