Where it comes from
Borrowed from Yiddish צרות (tsores), plural of צרה (tsore, “trouble, problem”), from Hebrew צָרָה (tsará, “trouble, tragedy, calamity”).
noun tsores · tsoris · tsorris · tsouris · tszoris · tsures
- Problems or troubles. You think you got troubles? You should go down there and talk to some of those schnorrers. Still, what chutzbah^([sic]). It's like the Jewish moral sense, emerging from all that tsuris.
