דרדס
Where it comes from
Borrowed from the Aramaic דרדס into the plural form דַּרְדָּסִין (dardásin), for translating the German Strümpfe, in the mid-19th century.
A more recent learned borrowing from Aramaic דרדס, for the Hebrew version of the The smurfs in 1983, with the plural דַּרְדָּסִים (dardásim). The choice was explained by Yehiam Paddan of the production crew, noting several aspects: an influence by the original meaning of Strumpf; a highly productive form as required by the "Smurf language"; an intentional rebracketing, as a blend of דרדק + קונדס.
