The answer

LOSER

What loser means

A person who fails to win a contest or struggle, or someone who is generally unsuccessful or unpopular in life and social situations.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *losere*, a noun formed from the verb *lose* plus the agent suffix *-er*. The verb *lose* comes from Old English *losian*, meaning "to break up" or "to dissolve," possibly influenced by Old Norse *los*, meaning "breaking up" or "dissolution." The sense shifted from physical breaking apart to losing possession or being defeated, and by the mid-20th century *loser* came to mean a person who habitually fails or loses at something.
