释义

ooftishn.

Brit. /ˈuːftɪʃ/, U.S. /ˈuftɪʃ/
Forms: 1800s ouftish, 1800s– ooftish.
Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: Yiddish afn tish.
Etymology: Apparently an alteration of Yiddish afn tish (perhaps with regional pronunciation of- or ōf- ) in gelt afn tish money on the table < gelt gelt n.2 + af on, on to ( < Middle High German uf , ouf : see up prep.1) + -n , oblique form of definite article + tish table ( < Middle High German tisch : see dish n.), after German (nonstandard) auf Tisch on the table, i.e. (money) laid on the table, (money) down, although the occurrence of a high rounded back vowel is unexplained. Compare German auftischen to set on the table, serve up.The following suggests earlier currency, but without substantiation for the claim:
slang. Now archaic.
Money, cash.
