Finagle - a podcast by Word of the Day

Finagle is a verb that means to obtain something by devious means.

Our word of the day was birthed in the 1920s, possibly related to the word ‘fiddle.’ It is mostly used in informal contexts. For example: As a highly ambitious young man, Frank was determined to get what he wanted in life — ethically or otherwise. Whatever he couldn’t earn, he aimed to finagle.
