жиза

Russian

Alternative forms

жизза (žizza) — far less common

Etymology

A clipping derived one way or another from жизнь (žiznʹ, “life”). If directly, then cf. винда́ (vindá) < Ви́ндоуз (Víndouz) for the conversion to a class 1 feminine noun. Semantically however it corresponds better to жи́зненный (žíznennyj, “relatable”).
