Person considered as a parasitic bug, which consumes other people's resources or that do not correspond to him. The folk etymology links "sucking" ("absorbing") with the suffix -ptero ("winged") which sounds like a bug like the mosquito (which is a diptera) or the flea (which is an apterous insect).
