Etymology
Uncertain. Perhaps a back-formation from Yiddish רביצין (rebetsin, “rebbetzin, rabbi's wife”). Zamenhof's explanation that it was from German Kronprinzessin (“Crown Princess”) is thought to have been an attempt to avoid antisemitism.[1] Reanalysed as edzo (“husband, spouse”) + -ino (feminine suffix).
