ghazi
My dusty old unabridged Webster's dictionary (1913) has probably
thousands, certainly hundreds, of words not found in modern
dictionaries. One of them is ghazi, which they define forthrightly (and incorrectly, politically) as:
Among Moslems, a warrior champion or veteran, esp. in the destruction of infidels; a fanatical slayer of infidels.
Among Moslems, a warrior champion or veteran, esp. in the destruction of infidels; a fanatical slayer of infidels.
