From Old East Slavic жидъ (židŭ, “Jew”), from Proto-Slavic *židъ.

The offensive connotation of the word was influenced by such connotation in the Russian жид (žid).

• IPA^(key): [ʒɪd]

жид • (žyd) m pers (genitive жи́да, nominative plural жиди́, genitive plural жиді́в, feminine жиді́вка, relational adjective жиді́вський)

1. (dated, now usually offensive) Jew

   Synonym: євре́й (jevréj)

• Caution should be taken with the term. Although some people, particularly those belonging to older generations, consider it a regular, non-offensive term in Ukrainian, as it was historically, others consider it very offensive, possibly due to the Russian usage where the word is now considered offensive.
