Etymology 1

risti (“cross”)

risti (“clubs”)
Borrowed from Old East Slavic крьстъ (krĭstŭ, “cross”).
Further etymology
- Further from Proto-Slavic *krьstъ, from Old High German Krist, from Ancient Greek Χριστός (Khristós, “Christ”, literally “anointed”), thus distantly related to Kristus.
- Related to Estonian rist and Livonian rišt.
- The sense "clubs (card suit)" is a semantic loan from German Kreuz (as are Czech kříž, Russian кре́сти (krésti)), probably named so due to the shape's similarity to that of a cross (particularly the Greek cross and/or the cross pattée).
Noun
risti
- cross (shape)
- (Christianity) cross, crucifix
- Synonym: krusifiksi
- cross (execution device)
- Synonym: ristinpuu
- (typography) dagger (†)
- (Christianity) cross, crucifix
- (card games) clubs, club
- (music, informal) sharp (symbol ♯ in notation)
- Synonyms: ylennysmerkki, ylennys (informal), korotusmerkki (rare)
- (anatomy) Clipping of ristiselkä (“small of the back”, of animals).
Usage notes
risti typically refers to a horizontal cross (+). For the tilted symbol (x), see rasti and its synonyms.
