chinch

/t͡ʃɪnt͡ʃ/ noun C1

a bedbug

Word Origin Chinch is a direct descendant of Latin cimex 'bedbug,' and it still refers to a pesky little insect. The word also appears in chinch bug, a crop pest, and surprisingly in chinchilla — though that rodent's name comes from a different source, the similarity is striking.
