Offscouring:

"that which is wiped off" (akin to peripsao, "to wipe off all round;" peri, "around," psao, "to wipe"), hence, "offscouring," is used metaphorically in 1Cr 4:13. This and the synonymous word perikatharma, "refuse, rubbish," "were used especially of condemned criminals of the lowest classes, who were sacrificed as expiatory offerings... because of their degraded life" (Lightfoot).
