Bakshish

/bækˈʃɪʃ/ noun

Definition

A variant spelling of baksheesh, sometimes used in historical or specialized texts.

Etymology

An alternative romanization of the Persian word bakhshīsh, reflecting different transliteration systems used in English colonial literature from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Kelly Says

This spelling variant demonstrates how the same Persian word got written different ways depending on who was transliterating it and when—there was no universal system before modern standards emerged.
