Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian zecchino.
Etymology: < Italian zecchino, †zechino, †cechino, †cecchino zecchino n., with sound substitution of // for the affricate /ts/ (the modern Italian word has initial /dz/). Some English forms may have been borrowed via Middle French, French †chequin (1540; obsolete after the 17th cent.), French †checquin (early 17th cent.). Compare earlier zecchino n. and later sequin n.
Now rare and historical.
A gold coin of a type minted originally by the Republic of Venice, and until the 19th cent. used widely in trade and commerce throughout Europe, the eastern Mediterranean, and further afield; any of various similar gold coins minted elsewhere, esp. those produced to the same standards as the Venetian coin for the purpose of facilitating international trade; = zecchino n. Cf. ducat n. 1a, sequin n. 1.
