Hobo - just means: poor beggar or tramp!


There are a number of ideas where the word comes from:
"farmhand," or a greeting such as Ho, boy!
or short form of "homeward bound"
The word "hobo" may also be a short form of the hobo's way of travelling,
"hopping boxcars" (= hopping trains!)
And last (very logical) short for the words "homeless boy".

And here you can learn how to draw a cartoon hobo! Try it - you will like it!
