I once read that the term Handycapped was originated by a ban on panhandling in England unless you were disabled. People were expected to donate what they could to disabled people. The term more specifically originated by the fact they were not allowed to ask for help, they could only hold out a cap upside down with their hand as a symbol that they were disabled and needed help, thus the term handycapped.
