Scofflaw is a noun coined during the Prohibition era to mean a person who drinks illegally. It is a portmanteau of the words scoff and law. Its original meaning was someone who mocks or ridicules anti-drinking laws, but has extended to mean one who flouts any law, especially those difficult to enforce, and particularly traffic laws.
