Nomenclature
Qadištu is the Akkadian form of a feminine noun derived from a Semitic root meaning "holy" or "set apart".[1] Specifically, it comes from the triconsonantal root q-d-š.
Qadištu, along with its Hebrew cognate which occurs in the Bible, has since the mid-19th century been interpreted as meaning "sacred prostitute", i.e. a priestess who perform sex acts as a cultic function, though that interpretation has been challenged in current scholarship.[1]
In Akkadian the word qadištu is used exclusively for female cultic functionaries with a diverse set of roles, primarily cultic practices but also wet-nursing and midwifery; it has no sexual connotations.[1] However, in Hebrew, the term came to be used for either a priestess or a prostitute (but never both at the same time), and had even been generalized to refer to any single unmarried woman who was employed outside of the household.[1]
