De straperlo, nombre del juego de azar introducido en 1934 en España por los austriacos Strauss y Perloff, que resultó ser fraudulento.

Con el racionamiento, instaurado en España [...] se desarrolló ampliamente el mercado negro, al que se dio en llamar estraperlo; y estraperlista a quien lo practicaba. 2, record 2, Spanish, - mercado%20negro
