tzaddik

noun /ˈtsɑː.diːk/

  1. A very righteous person, especially a Hassidic spiritual leader.

    For in dreams one thinks with the eyes and the ears; speech has no nouns, just verbs; only in dreams is every person a zaddik, never a murderer….

Where it comes from

From Hebrew צַדִּיק (tsadík, “righteous person”). Many pronunciations have come under the influence of Yiddish צדיק (tsadek).

Adapted from the Wiktionary entry tzaddik (CC BY-SA 4.0).
