Etymology
Dhimmitude comes from the Arabic word dhimmi meaning 'a protected person' and the ending -tude meaning 'state', like in attitude. So, it originally meant the 'state of being a dhimmi' — living as a protected but often lower-status non-Muslim under Islamic rule, with special taxes and rules.
