Meaning of Badger
(Fr.) Baggage, a bundle, and thence is derived bagagier, a carrier of goods. One who buys corn or vituals in one place, and carries them to another to sell and make profit by them. And such a one is exempted in St. 5 & 6 Edw. VI. c. 14, from the punishment of an ingrosser within that statute. But by 5 Eliz. c. 12, badgers are to be licensed by the justices of the peace in the sessions, whose licenses will be in force for one year, and no longer, and the persons to whom granted must enter into a recognizance that they will not, by color of their licenses, forstall, or do anything contrary to the statutes made against forestallers, ingrossers, and regrators. If any person shall act as a badger without license, he is to forfeit £5, one moiety to the king, and the other to the prosecutor, leviable by warrant from justices of the peace, etc. Jacob.

to attack persistently, worry, pester, 1790, from badger; this term is also a noun., based on the behavior of the dogs in the medieval sport of badger-baiting, still practiced in late 19c. England as an attraction to low public houses. Related: Badgered; badgering. A badger is put into a barrel, and one or more dogs are put in to drag him out.
