Forms: 1900s– kibbitzer, 1900s– kibitzer, 1900s– kabitzer.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a Yiddish lexical item. Etymons: kibitz v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < kibitz v. + -er suffix¹, perhaps after Yiddish kibitser (a1908 or earlier). Compare earlier kibitz n.Although German Kiebitzer is attested in sense 1, it is far less common in this sense than Kiebitz (see kibitz v.). Compare the following two earlier quotations:1908 Amer. Hebrew & Jewish Messenger 6 Nov. 19 It is on the order of ‘Der Kibitzer’, and is filled with jokes on St. Louisans.1910 Odontol. June 72 This fellow is a ‘pitch’ familiarly known as the ‘Kibbitzer’ hero. Quot. 1908 shows use as the transliterated title of a U.S. Yiddish-language periodical. In quot. 1910 the sense is unclear (and the attributive use of the noun is atypical), and the example appears to be a nickname. O.E.D. Suppl. (1976) also gives the pronunciation (kibi·tsəɹ) /kɪˈbɪtsə(r)/.

colloquial (originally U.S.).

1. A spectator of a card game, esp. one who offers (unwelcome) advice. Later also more generally: a person who watches someone doing something and offers (unwelcome) advice or criticism. In quot. 1915 apparently in a humorous context.
