Etymology

The verb 'schmooze' has its origins in Yiddish, where the word 'shmuesn' means 'to chat' or 'to converse'. This, in turn, has roots in the German word 'schmusen', which also means 'to talk' or 'to chat'. The term gained popularity in American English in the mid-20th century, particularly in the context of informal gatherings and socializing, often with an implication of seeking favor or establishing connections. Initially associated with Jewish communities, the usage of 'schmooze' has since spread more broadly and is now used in many social and business contexts across English-speaking countries.
