mazuma

/məˈzuːmə/ noun C1

money

Word Origin Mazuma is slang for money, from Yiddish mezumen, from Hebrew mezuman 'ready money, cash.' It entered American English in the early 20th century via Yiddish-speaking immigrants. The Hebrew root z-m-n relates to 'appoint, prepare,' so mezuman is money that's ready at hand. Mazuma is ready cash, straight from the streets of New York.
