Etymology
Dhimmitude comes from the Arabic dhimmi 'a protected person' plus the ending -tude 'state', as in attitude. Today the word is often used by critics to mean a 'state of submission' or 'giving in' to Islamic authority or influence, so the origin helps explain why it can mean being pushed into a lower or accommodating position.
