schachern

== German == === Etymology === 17th century, borrowed from Yiddish סחרן (sakhern, “to do business”), derived from Hebrew סחר (sáḥar, “trade”). The form was influenced by now obsolete schachen (“to plunder”, with long [aː]), itself from Proto-West Germanic *skāk (“robbery”). The synonymous Yiddish שאַכערן (shakhern) may be a reborrowing. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʃaxəʁn/, [ˈʃa.χɐn] === Verb === schachern (weak, third-person singular present schachert, past tense schacherte, past participle geschachert, auxiliary haben) to haggle Synonyms: feilschen, handeln ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Schächer (secondary relation) ==== Descendants ==== → Dutch: sjacheren === Further reading === “schachern”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) “schachern” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “schachern” in Duden online “schachern” in OpenThesaurus.de
