schachern
Appearance
German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]17th century, borrowed from Yiddish סחרן (sakhern, “to do business”), derived from Hebrew סחר (sáḥar, “trade”). The form was influenced by now obsolete schachen (“to plunder”, with long [aː]), itself from Proto-West Germanic *skāk (“robbery”). The synonymous Yiddish שאַכערן (shakhern) may be a reborrowing.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]schachern (weak, third-person singular present schachert, past tense schacherte, past participle geschachert, auxiliary haben)
