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, according to Jessie DeGrado, had even been generalized to refer to any single unmarried woman who was employed outside of the household.[1]
