Best AnswerAsker's ChoiceCatie I answered 7 years ago'welch' was brought to America around 1855 - 1860 It was meant to mean to cheat by failing to pay a gambling debt. The origin is unknown. There is a time in American history when a lot of language used was not "politically correct" and considered to be demeaning. Although, people were unaware of the demeaning aspect of it. "welch" was not to be confused with 'welsh' (the people of Wales). Although now days it has been left by the wayside to die a death that should have been sooner. "welch" appears in the Webster Dictionary of 1862 with the meaning of to go back on one's word. Used here as an informal verb.

Etymology[edit] Probably from welch, spelling influenced by Welsh, used disparagingly. Compare gyp (“swindle”) (probably from gypsy (“Roma”)), and jew (“defraud”), from Jew.
