Definitions

  1. elegant and fashionable

Word origin

Most likely derived from Romani posh (“half”), either because posh-kooroona (“half a crown”) (originally a substantial sum of money) was used metaphorically for anything pricey or upper-class, or because posh-houri (“half-penny”) came to refer to money generally.

Used in a sentence

  • She talks with a posh accent.
