Relating to the Jews, their religion (Judaism), culture, or identity. It can describe people, traditions, beliefs, or things connected to Jewish life.
From “Jew” plus the adjective-forming suffix “-ish.” “Jew” comes from Old French “giu,” from Latin “Iudaeus,” from Greek “Ioudaios,” meaning “Judean,” a person from Judea. The term shifted from meaning a geographic region’s people to a religious and ethnic identity.
