Etymology

[edit]

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

[edit]

rizá f (Latin spelling, Hebrew spelling ריזה)[1]

  1. (Izmir, Salonika, Sarajevo) handkerchief
    Synonyms: panyuelo, tavayol (Sarajevo)
