Elegant, fashionable, and stylish; or a stylishly dressed person; used in South Asian English.
From Urdu/Hindi 'śīk,' possibly from English 'chic,' or from Persian origins. The term is prevalent in Indian English and South Asian contexts for something fashionable.
Shik shows how English spread globally and then got adopted back—English speakers borrowed 'chic' from French, then South Asians borrowed it again as 'shik,' and now it's a word that travels between cultures constantly.
