| Shiksa (Yiddish: , translit. shikse) is an often disparaging term for a non-Jewish woman or girl. The word, which is of Yiddish origin, has moved into English usage (as well as Polish and German), mostly in North American Jewish culture, as According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it came into English usage in the late 19th century from the Yiddish shikse, which is an adaptation of the Hebrew word iqâ, which is derived from sheqe ("a detested thing") and the feminine suffix -â.Among Orthodox Jews, the term may be used to describe a Jewish girl or woman who fails to follow Orthodox religious precepts.The equivalent term for a non-Jewish male, used less frequently, is shegetz.* |
