squeegee (n.)

"wooden scraping instrument with a rubber blade," 1844, a nautical word originally, earlier squilgee, squillagee (Dana, 1840), "a small swab made of untwisted yarns. Figuratively, a lazy mean fellow" [Smythe], perhaps from squeege "to press" (1782), an alteration of squeeze (v.). Later in photography, then window-washing.
