podšitý
Czech
FWOTD – 11 November 2022
Etymology
From pod- + šít + -ý. Original meaning is "lined", but it is often used as a shortened version of the idiom liškou podšitý. In the past animal fur used to be sometimes sown inside coats. At the same time there was a prejudice that some animal characteristics can be transferred to people by touching them. People wearing coats with fox fur sown inside were expected to have acquired characteristics like cunningness or slyness.[1]
