Etymology
Presumably from Ottoman Turkish رضا (rıza), from Arabic رِضًا (riḍan).[1] The semantic transfer from 'consent' to 'handkerchief' may have something to do with the Ottoman sultan's custom of choosing one woman in a harem by giving her a handkerchief.
Noun
rizá f (Hebrew spelling ריזה)[1]
- (Izmir, Salonika, Sarajevo) handkerchief
- Synonyms: panyuelo, tavayol (Sarajevo)
1998, Matilda Koén-Sarano, Mil i un Djoha, Matilda Koén-Sarano, page 14:En la mano tiene una rizá estrechada en el punyo i lo d’afuera komo una roza al derredor de la mano.- She has in hand a handkerchief crumpled in her fist and like a rose around the hand from outside.
