Etymology
Tsatske comes from a Yiddish word for a small, showy thing, like a bright ornament called a 'trinket'. People began using it for a woman who dresses or acts in a flashy way and gets attention, so the modern sense of 'an attractive, often unconventional or showy woman' comes from comparing her to a shiny little object.
