“Rizz is a colloquial word, defined as style, charm, or attractiveness; the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner,” according to the Oxford University Press. OUP says the word’s etymology it’s believed to have been taken from the middle of “charisma,” much like “fridge” derives from refrigerator.
