1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

A seller on the American e-commerce service Etsy.

“Etsying, as any Etsian (as Etsy sellers call themselves) will tell you, is a highly addictive pastime.”
“She "quit" her "day job' to dedicate more time" to her "family" and "business." mommymogul [Esty user] hopes to "grow" her "business to the point" that she "can quit" her "day job (like so many of the stories" she has "read about fellow etsians)."^([sic])”
“This feeling of being a part of a global movement is to a great extent enabled by the spatial quality of Etsy, being both locally and globally embedded. Etsy's spatial dimensions are thus a key characteristic of this global movement toward sustainability, as it is referred to by Etsians.”

Etymology

From Etsy + -ian (“one from, belonging to”); Etsy was named in June 2005 by co-founder Robert Kalin as a nonsense word inspired by the Italian phrase eh, si (“huh, yes”), which he repeatedly heard in the film 8½ (1963) and erroneously transcribed as etsi.
