| 词源 | yenta. Yiddish for a gossipy woman who talks too much, who talks nonstop relentlessly and can’t keep a secret, yenta may derive from the name of some unknown blabbermouth called Yenta. The proper name Yenta for a woman probably de- rives from the Italian gentile. A talkative character named Yenta Talabenta in a play by Sholom Aleichem popularized this term. |
