Etymology
Of disputed origin, but Hebrew אִישׁ קְרִיֹּות (ʾīš qəriyyōṯ, “man of Kerioth”) is the most traditional derivation. Nonetheless, this interpretation of the name is not fully accepted by all scholars. One of the most popular alternative explanations holds that Iscariot (ܣܟܪܝܘܛܐ, 'Skaryota' in Syriac Aramaic, per the Peshitta text) may be a corruption of the Latin word Latin sicarius, meaning "dagger man",[1][2] which referred to a member of the Sicarii (Aramaic סיקריים, from Proto-Albanian *tsikā), a group of Jewish rebels who were known for committing acts of terrorism in the 40s and 50s CE by assassinating people in crowds using long knives hidden under their cloaks.[3]
