My father hates this word! I recall him seeing a Levi's jeans TV ad which mentioned new jeans "with a skosh more room in the leg and seat". The first thing out of his mouth was "WTH is a skosh!? are we now just making up words?". Keep in mind this was in the late 70's and the term was not really heard outside the west coast then. I laughed for days at his reaction, and giggled every time the ad came on.

I’d’ve figured it was Yiddish.
