From late Middle High German zimet, from earlier zinemīn, zinment, from Latin cinnamon, cinnamomum, from Ancient Greek κιννάμωμον (kinnámōmon), later κίνναμον (kínnamon), according to Herodotus from Phoenician, cognate with Hebrew קִנָּמוֹן (qinnāmōn).

2013, Hanna Dinkelbach, Zimt-Missbrauch: Das Risiko als letzte Würze, in: Website of Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung
Die Einnahme von Zimt löst einen schweren Würgereflex aus, weil das Gewürz in Mund und Rachen brennt, erklärt Hower: „Beim Luftholen kann das Zimt in die Lunge gelangen“.

The consumption of cinnamon provokes a strong pharyngeal reflex because the spice stings in the mouth and throat, Hower explains: “When taking a breath, you can get the cinnamon into your lungs.”

→ Dutch: foppen

Uncertain, perhaps borrowed from Middle Dutch focken (“to breed; to fuck; to tease”). Compare modern Dutch fokken. German foppen developed and spread in Rotwelsch (criminal’s jargon), originally meaning “to trick, deceive” (15th century).

bor

So die Natur zu lieben, wie er, muß eine Qual sein und ist eine Schande; denn ein Mann von Vernunft läßt sich nicht lange von einem Gegenstand, und sei es auch die Natur selber, foppen und narren und peinigen.

1907, Robert Walser, Geschwister Tanner:

In bezug auf Landauer versuchte er, mich vor die Alternative zu stellen: Er oder Er! Ich lehnte solche Alternative schroff ab, woraus sich die psychologische Erklärung ergab: Ich habe das Bedürfnis, mich von aller Welt foppen zu lassen.

1912, Erich Mühsam, chapter 3, in Tagebücher 1910–1924, published 1994, →ISBN:

„Hören Sie mal, Gevatter“, sagte ich, „Sie foppen uns. Das Pferd hat viel Geld gekostet.“

(colloquial) to put on, to tease, to hoax

Wann genau in Zürcher Bars, Beizen und Speiserestaurants die letzten Zigaretten ausgedrückt werden, blieb am Sonntag offen.

2008 September 29, “Zürcher Restaurants und Bars künftig rauchfrei”, in Neue Zürcher Zeitung:

When exactly the last cigarette will be stubbed in the bars, pubs and restaurants of Zürch remained open on Sunday.

Ich hatte mit zwei Zürcher Künstlern, einem Maler und einem Bildhauer, mit ein paar anderen Zürcher Filmleuten in einer Beiz der Altstadt im Niederdorf gesessen, wo wir die Kriegsereignisse diskutierten, die wieder einmal eine schreckenerregende Wendung genommen hatten. Außerdem hatten wir alle reichlich und sicher zuviel getrunken.

2013, Mario König, Oliver König, Autobiographische Schriften: Leben im Widerspruch — Versuch einer intellektuellen Autobiographie. Nebenbei geschehen — Erinnerungen. Texte aus dem Nachlaß, Springer-Verlag, →ISBN, page 402:

I had met with two artists, a painter and a sculptor, together with a few other film people from Zürch in a pub in the old town, where we discussed the tides of war, that had again turned frighteningly. Furthermore we had all drunk abundantly and surely too much.

Uncertain. Attested since the end of the 18th century, emerged in Halle, Germany, spread to all major German university cities by mid-19th century. Perhaps from Rotwelsch petzen, pezetten (“to report to the police, to betray”), from Yiddish [script needed] (Pezet), [script needed] (Peizaddik, “police”), from [script needed] (pe, “p (letter name)”) + [script needed] (zadik, “z (letter name)”) ("pz" for Polizei). Alternatively from Petze (“she-dog”), hence also the agent noun Petze (“tattler”).

Mauschel + -en, from Yiddish, influenced by Rotwelsch.

Und alle, die sich mit Katar eingelassen haben, stehen nun unter Generalverdacht. Haben vielleicht auch sie gemauschelt? Hat sich nicht nur Kaili kaufen lassen, sondern vielleicht auch Schinas oder gar seine Chefin von der Leyen?

Die Handwerker berichteten Wunderdinge von amerikanischen Wunderlöhnen – die ungarischen Arbeiter schnatterten den ganzen Tag in ihrer aufgeregten Art – die Juden hockten auf Kisten und Koffern zusammen und mauschelten.

The word was borrowed via Yiddish בחור (bokher) which in Western Yiddish applied the senses of “boy, youngster, man”, “Talmud student”, especially “Talmud student who gave lessons to Jewish children in exchange for board and lodge”, “teacher of religious education”, “Jewish teacher”, “assistant schoolmaster”, from Hebrew בָּחוּר (bakhúr, “young man”). Sense 2 is attested since the 18th century. Sense 4 is also attested since the 18th century and developed as an extension of the Yiddish sense “the one who is studious in the teachings of the Talmud; student of a rabbi”. Senses 8 and 9, also extensions of the aforementioned Yiddish sense, are attested since 1862 and were borrowed from Rotwelsch.

Hätten wir bei ihren Lebzeiten erkannt, was wir an ihnen besaßen, so hätten wir den Strumpfwirker und den Spenglergehilfen zu Ministern, den Bäckerlehrling zum Bäckermeister und den Bocher wenigstens zum Oberrabbiner ernannt.

1912, Emil Ertl, Freiheit, die ich meine: Roman aus dem Sturmjahr, Leipzig: Verlag von L. Staackmann, page 348:

If only we had known in their lifetimes what we had of them, then we would have appointed the hosier and the plumber's assistant to ministers, the baker's apprentice to the master baker, and the rabbinical student to the chief rabbi.

Und der Rabbi: "Geht und schickt mir einen Bocher rasch herein."

1920, Rainer Maria Rilke, “Rabbi Löw”, in Erste Gedichte, Leipzig: Insel-Verlag, page 56; republished as Walter Arnold Kaufmann, editor, Twenty German poets: a bilingual collection, New York: Modern Library, 1962, page 199:

Says the rabbi: "Get a bocher, send him here and don't postpone."

Ein neunzehnjähriger Junge ist durchgebrannt vom Lodzer Seminar - er will nicht „Bocher“ sein und nicht Rabbiner werden, er will dichten, die Welt erobern, Bücher schreiben, „ein zweiter Max Brod werden“.

1925, Egon Erwin Kisch, “Der rasende Reporter”, in Kisch – Gesammelte Werke in Einzelausgaben, 3rd edition, volume 6, Berlin/Weimar: Aufbau-Verlag, published 1978, page 267:

A nineteen-year-old boy has run away from the Lodz seminar – he doesn’t want to be a rabbinical student and become a rabbi, he wants to write poetry, find his way in the world, write books, “become a second Max Brod”.

Bis zu zwanzig Jahren war Löwy ein Bocher, der studierte und seines wohlhabenden Vaters Geld ausgab.

1911 October 23, Franz Kafka, Tagebücher 1910–1923:

Up until his twentieth year Löwy was a student who studied and spent the money of his wealthy father.
