Ka-tzetnik
Ka-tzetnik (KZ-nik, Kazetnik, Katsetnik) is a Yiddish word for an inmate of a Nazi concentration camp. The word is derived from the abbreviation KZ (pronounced as Kah-Tzet) for the German word Konzentrationslager by the addition of the suffix -nik of Slavic origin, which approximately corresponds to the English suffix "-er".
