Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German jüdesch, from Old High German judeisc, derived from judo, judeo + -isc, the former from Latin iūdaeus (“Judaean, Jew”), from Ancient Greek Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaîos), derived from Ἰουδά (Ioudá, “Judah”) + -ιος (-ios), the former from Hebrew יְהוּדָה (yəhūḏāh). By surface analysis, ייִד (yid) +‎ ־יש (-ish).
