  Gentile \Gen"tile\ (j[e^]n"t[imac]l), n. [L. gentilis belonging
     to the same clan, stock, race, people, or nation; in
     opposition to Roman, a foreigner; in opposition to Jew or
     Christian, a heathen: cf. F. gentil. See Gentle, a.]
     1. One neither a Jew nor a Christian; a worshiper of false
        gods; a heathen.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A person who is not Jewish; -- used in this sense by Jews.
  
     Syn: goy[male], shiksa[female].
          [PJC]
  
     Note: The Hebrews included in the term g[=o]yim, or nations,
           all the tribes of men who had not received the true
           faith, and were not circumcised. The Christians
           translated g[=o]yim by the L. gentes, and imitated the
           Jews in giving the name gentiles to all nations who
           were neither Jews nor Christians. In civil affairs, the
           denomination was given to all nations who were not
           Romans. As used by Mormons, the term gentile designates
           any person who is not a Mormon.
  
     Syn: Pagan; heathen. See Pagan.
