Etymology of GODINES

The word "Godines" does not have a clear etymology. It is predominantly used in Mexican Spanish and is believed to have originated as a local slang term. "Godín" or "Godines" refers to a person who is seen as a typical office worker, often described as a "nine-to-five" employee.

There are several theories regarding the origin of the word. One suggestion is that "Godín" comes from the English name "Goodwin" or "Gooding", which could have been a common surname among English-speaking employees in Mexico during the industrialization period.

Another theory proposes that "Godín" may be derived from the Yiddish word "gornisht", meaning "nothing" or "nobody".
