ùcárɗəp
Tarok
Etymology
Blench and Longtau suggest it may derive from ùcár (“woman”) + ɗəp (“briefly”), from a longer descriptive phrase "woman who stays briefly", referring to the traditional practice of a bride staying briefly with her new family, then returning for a time to her old family, before moving back to the new family.
