argosyn.

Brit.

/ˈɑːɡəsi/, U.S.

/ˈɑrɡəsi/

Forms: 1500s ragusye, arguess, arguze, 1500s–1600s argose, 1600s ( rhaguse, ragosie,) argosea, argosey, argozee, 1500s–1800s argosie, 1600s– argosy.

Etymology: Apparently < Italian Ragusea, plural Ragusee , i.e. una (nave or caracca) Ragusea , a Ragusan (vessel or carrack), best represented by the earliest form ragusye ; the transposition in argosea , arguze , argozee , etc., is no doubt connected with the fact that Ragusa (in Venetian, Ragusi ) itself appears in 16th cent. English as Aragouse , Arragouese , Arragosa . Compare also argosine n., in which Argosine seems to represent Italian Ragusino, synonym of Raguseo. That argosies were reputed to take their name from Ragusa, is stated by several writers of 17th cent.; and the derivation is made inductively certain by investigations made for us by Mr. A. J. Evans, showing the extent of Ragusan trade with England, and the familiarity of the English with the Ragusee or large and richly-freighted merchant ships of Ragusa, ‘Argosies with portlie sayle Like Signiors and rich Burgars on the flood [which] ouer-peere the petty traffiquers That cursie to them do them reuerence As they flie by them with theyr wouen wings.’ (Shakespeare Merch. V. i. i. 9.) No reference to the ship Argo is traceable in the early use of the word.a1500 Palladius Fuscus (of Padua) De Situ oræ Illyricæ i Nulla Europæ pars adeo abdita est..ut in ea Ragusinos non invenias negotiantes.1517 R.
