"roetpiet" meaning in All languages combined

See roetpiet on Wiktionary

Noun [Dutch]

Audio: Nl-roetpiet.ogg Forms: roetpieten [plural], roetpietje [diminutive, neuter]
Etymology: Equivalent to roet (“soot”) + piet (“pete”). Used as a politically correct alternative for zwarte piet, following societal discussions in the Low Countries on the origin of the face hue of Zwarte Piet, the servant of Sinterklaas (“folklore figure in the Low Countries”). Some suggest he gained his face colour whilst climbing sooty chimneys at night, which he does once a year to deliver presents to children. Others suggest that he is an African slave-servant from the colonial era, serving Sinterklaas, his white master.
