baksheesh
Baksheesh or bagsheesh (from (ペルシア語:بخشش) ''bakhshesh'') is tipping, charitable giving, and certain forms of political corruption and bribery in the Middle East and South Asia.
==Etymology and usage==
Baksheesh comes from the Persian word (''bakhshesh''), which originated from the Pahlavi (Middle Iranian) language.〔Dehkhoda dictionary.〕 It is further traced back to Sanskrit ''bhiksha'' or ''bheeks'', which has the same meaning.
The word had also moved westward. In the Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, and Turkish languages, ''bakshish'' or бакшиш means "tip" in the conventional western sense. In Greek, μπαξίσι (''baksisi'') can mean a gift in general. In German and French, ''Bakschisch'' is a small bribe (in Romanian as well, depending on the context; usually employed as a euphemism to ''şpagă'', which means outright bribe).
