Ladino

Noun

meshumad m (Hebrew spelling משומד, plural meshumadim)[1]

  1. (countable, religion) apostate (a person who has renounced a religion or faith)
    • 1999, Eliezer Papo, La megila de Saray‎[1], E. Papo, page 150:
      Ma, bien saviendo ke el meshumad se sustiene de sarot⁴⁸⁵ de Yisrael - i ke ‘el trokado es peor ke el nasido’ el haham-bashi, komo ke salyo de la kaza de los Haviyos, eskrivyo una letra ‘a la komunidad santa de ombres buenos fazidores de misvot i ambizadores de la Ley Djidios piadozos ke son en Travnik’ […]
      Nevertheless, knowing well that the apostate is sustained by Israel’s sorrows — and that ‘the substitute is worse than the native’, the chief rabbinate, as he left the Haviyos’ house, wrote a letter ‘to the holy community of good men, doers of good deeds and teachers of the law, pious Jews who are in Travnik.’
