Ottoman, a. and n.1|ˈɒtəmən|
Also 6–7 Otho-.
[= F. Ottoman, It. Ottomano, med.L. Ottomānus, med.Gr. Ὀτούµανος; of which the L. and It. pl. Ottomani was ad. Arab. ﻋuthmānī or ﻋothmānī, adj. from ﻋothmān, name of the founder of the Turkish dynasty and empire. The forms Othoman and Othman more closely represent the Arabic; but all want the adj. ending -i.
The Turkish pronunciation of Othmān is Osmān, whence, with the Turkish adj. suffix -li, the equivalent Osmanli. In It. use these adjs. were orig. sing. and pl., e.g. ‘la paga d'un Osmani al giorno, intrando quattro Osmani’, Bratutti Chronica (Venice 1649); but -i being the plural ending in L. and It., a new sing. arose, in L. -us, It. -o, whence the forms given above.]
