Words That Rhyme With Neitz
Origin of Neitz
From Yiddish נץ החמה, from Hebrew הָנֵץ הַחַמָּה. The dropping of initial he is due to reanalysis of the initial portion (הָנֵץ) as being made up of two parts, ה־ (“definite article, the”) + נֵץ, rather than being the verbal noun of הֵנֵץ (with the he being a part of the hif'il binyan).
