英语词汇baksheesh的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	baksheesh
词源	baksheesh. Baksheesh is Persian for a tip or present. But the insolent persistent demands of beggars, servants, and officials in the Near East over the years have made baksheesh seem more a claim or demand upon a traveler than a gratuity in many cases, giving the word an unsavory connotation.
