Gamin (6)
I believe the answer is:
urchin
'gamin' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for urchin that I've seen before include "Grubby boy or sea plant" , "Hedgehog - ragamuffin" , "Marine invertebrate with spiny shells" , "Scruffy little kid" , "poor mite" .)
