Definition
Relating to Semitic peoples, languages, or cultures. Often seen in compounds like 'anti-Semitism,' referring to prejudice against Jewish people specifically.
Etymology
From German 'Semitismus,' coined in the 18th century from 'Semite,' derived from Shem, Noah's son in biblical tradition. The term was created by scholars to classify languages and peoples, but became primarily associated with Jewish identity.
Kelly Says
Ironically, the term 'anti-Semitism' was coined by a 19th-century German antisemite who wanted a more scientific-sounding word for Jew-hatred, even though Semitic peoples include Arabs, Ethiopians, and others - showing how supposedly scholarly language can mask prejudice.
