1word1dayHi! After a ridiculously long sabbatical, I'm resuming the Wednesday word. It's nice to be back!
I'll ease back in with a short, simple one this week.
nebbish:
Noun, slang: A pitiful, timid, meek, luckless, ineffectual person
Origin: English use started around the turn of the 20th century. Yiddish nebekh meaning poor, unfortunate. From Czech nebohý.
