Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French ducat; Italian ducato.
Etymology: < (i) Middle French ducat (14th cent., earliest in plural ducas ; French ducat ), and its etymon (ii) Italian ducato coin struck with the image of a duke (beginning of the 14th cent.; end of the 13th cent. as duchato ) < duca duke n. + -ato -at suffix. Compare post-classical Latin ducatus (12th cent. in Italian sources).Early history of the coin. The earliest coin so called was a silver coin issued in 1140 by Roger II of Sicily, as Duke of Apulia. The first issue bore the inscription R DX AP (i.e. Rogerus Dux Apuliae ) and an effigy of Christ along with the legend Sit tibi Christe datus quem tu regis iste ducatus ‘O Christ, let this duchy, which you rule, be dedicated to you’. The 12th-cent. Italian historian and chronicler Falco of Benevento records that Roger II named this coin ducatus . From the early 13th cent., ducatus is attested as the name of a Venetian silver coin usually known as the grosso (see gross n.2). In 1284 the first gold ducat, also called zecchino d'oro (compare zecchino n.), was struck at Venice under the doge John Dandolo. This coin bears on one side figures of St Mark and the Doge, and on the other a figure of Christ with the same legend as on King Roger II's coin. In later use the term was also used as a unit of account, with the actual coin becoming known as a ducato di zecca , lit. ‘mint ducat’, and later as a zecchino zecchino n. Parallels in other European languages. The term was borrowed into many other European languages. Compare Catalan ducat, Spanish ducado (second half of the 14th cent.), Portuguese ducado (first half of the 15th cent.), and Old Frisian ducāt (West Frisian dûkaat), Middle Dutch ducas, (in late sources) ducaet (Dutch ducaat), Middle Low German dukāte, German Dukat (end of the 14th cent. as tucat), Old Swedish dukāt (Swedish dukat).
