Gaichha lata would mean tree (Gaichha) climber (lata) to a Bengali. However the word 'Gaichha' in itself means 'one that is at home with trees' and could be used in common parlance to label even humans/kids who are particularly naughty and hang around playing in and around trees all day etc or it could also be a label for all things/animals arboreal.
