Ferengi is basically a derogatory word for a foreigner: In Hindi, "Ferengi" corresponds to the word फिरंगी (Firangi), which historically means a foreigner, a westerner, or specifically a person of European descent (such as the British during the colonial era) #StarTrek #Ferengi

Trek Rewatch

#StarTrekVoyager S03E05: False Profits. Stardate 50074.3. On a primitive planet close to an unstable wormhole, two Ferengi have set themselves up as "Holy Sages" and are worshipped by the population. Janeway makes some bad decisions in this episode. Rating 4/10. #StarTrek #TrekSky
