editOf unclear origin. Thought to derive either from dialectal охи́нить (oxínitʹ, “to scold”) (related to хинь (xinʹ, “nonsense”) and хи́нить (xínitʹ, “to abuse”)) or from a seminarian usage of the word афинейский (afinejskij) in the sense of 'falsely learned', from Ancient Greek Ἀθηναῖος (Athēnaîos, “Athenian”).[1][2] Compare Belarusian and Ukrainian ахіне́я (axinéja).
