Wretch \Wretch\, n. [OE. wrecche, AS. wrecca, wr[ae]cca, an
   exile, a wretch, fr. wrecan to drive out, punish; properly,
   an exile, one driven out, akin to AS. wr[ae]c an exile, OS.
   wrekkio a stranger, OHG. reccheo an exile. See {Wreak}, v.
   t.]
   1. A miserable person; one profoundly unhappy. ``The wretch
      that lies in woe.'' --Shak.

            Hovered thy spirit o'er thy sorrowing son, Wretch
            even then, life's journey just begun? --Cowper.

   2. One sunk in vice or degradation; a base, despicable
      person; a vile knave; as, a profligate wretch.

   Note: Wretch is sometimes used by way of slight or ironical
         pity or contempt, and sometimes to express tenderness;
         as we say, poor thing. ``Poor wretch was never frighted
         so.'' --Drayton.
