Where it comes from
From יָדוּעַ (yadúa, “known”) + ־ן (-an, “occupational suffix”), coined by Israeli translator Reuben J. Wimmer. Members of the Academy of the Hebrew Language initially objected because of incorrect derivation but eventually accepted the term because no better term could be agreed upon.
