schmuck

Etymology
From. Further origin. Probably from, or 🇨🇬. Perhaps akin to onomatopoeic 🇨🇬 smoktat ("to suck") according to old belief that snakes suck milk from animals. Alternatively a baby-talk corruption of, a dissimilated form of. Alternatively from the verb, archaic 🇨🇬, which has several meanings allowing possible semantic connections: 1.) “to squeeze, press, fit into something tight”; 2.) “to hug, snuggle, kiss”; 3.) “to adorn, decorate”. The last of these three senses is perhaps less likely, but compare 🇨🇬 with 🇨🇬.
