Philologos is an etymology column about Yiddish, Hebrew and Jewish words and phrases. It ran for 24 years in The Forward; since January 2015, it has run in Mosaic.[1][2] It is written anonymously.[3][1]
Mira Sucharov of Canadian Jewish News wrote in 2016 that "Philologos" is a pseudonym of Hillel Halkin[4], and Edward Alexander expressed conviction in 2017 that Halkin was the column's author.[5] Halkin later confirmed in 2021 that he penned it, describing it as possessing "independent status as a fictional character" he invented. Philologos, Halkin continued, "often says things or goes out on a limb by expressing crazy things" that Halkin "would never say."[6]
