Do you know the meaning of Rizz, the word which has been named the 2023 word of the year by Oxford University Press.
According to X page of OUP, the meaning of the word is (n.) style, charm, or attractiveness; the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner.
The word was reportedly first recorded in 2022.
However, the word became popular after Hollywood actor Tom Holland used it while he was interviewed by Buzzfeed.
When we asked what the secret to his rizz was, he told the news portal I have no rizz whatsoever, I have limited rizz.
Rizz is something you can have and do, though its most commonly used as a noun, per Dictionary.com. One can rizz a romantic partner at a bar and then use their rizz to hold that persons attention beyond their initial meeting, reported CNN.
The word fought hard against other top contenders like Swiftie, de-influencing, beige flag and situationship to win the numero uno position in the passing year.
In 2022, OUP had named goblin mode as the word of the year.
Casper Grathwohl, president at Oxford Languages, said that while goblin mode had resonated with many people after the pandemic, its interesting to see a contrasting word like rizz come to the forefront, reported BBC.
