I always through the word "yarmulke" was Yiddish until a few years ago someone on this site said to put the word "skullcap" into google translate, set the desired language to Polish, and listen. My mind was blown. But I guess a lot of Yiddish is like that.
I think I also used to think "onus" might be Yiddish.

Just had to come back to say that actually both are yiddish.
Tumul is a noun, tumult is the verb form.

Yarmulke comes from the 2 words yerei Malka. ( literally fear of the king.)

The etymology of yarmulke is a little grey. Another possible explanation not mentioned yet is it's one of the few words that we have from the khazarian language. As per Dr. Abramson. I thought that was fascinating.

Mainstream chassidish don’t. I worked in a chassidishe school and half the words I used they didn’t know what they meant because they used English words. And these are words in Yiddish not another language.

A very American relative of mine who has some Chassidishe relatives told me that
Doona is Yiddish for a carseat.
She was shocked to find out that its a brand of a carseat.
But I guess it's similar to Kleenex, Pampers, Qtips.

Some of these are hysterical!
Growing up we used to refer to dustpan as “shovel “ .As in , can you get the broom and shovel.
I always thought “shovel” was the Yiddish word
for dustpan .
