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 (Hebrew spelling ריזה)[1]

  1. (Izmir, Salonik, Sarajevo) handkerchief
    Synonyms: panyuelo, tavayol (Sarajevo)
    • 1998, Matilda Koén-Sarano, Mil i un Djoha[1], 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.
