Unable to locate a reliable definition; this appears to be a very obscure or possibly variant spelling term, potentially from Yiddish or another language tradition.
Etymology uncertain; the word form suggests possible Yiddish or Eastern European Jewish language origins, but standard lexicographic sources do not provide confident etymological information.
Some words in dictionaries remain mysteries—they appear in historical texts but their origins are lost, reminding us that language contains 'lexical fossils' whose original meanings have been buried by time.
