panhandled
Asked strangers money
Panhandled is the past tense of panhandle, meaning to beg for money in public places, typically on streets or sidewalks: He panhandled outside the subway station for years.
The term comes from the image of extending a pan to collect coins.
Panhandling usually implies direct solicitation from strangers rather than passive begging with a sign.
