Moriscoadj.n.

Brit.

/mɒˈrɪskəʊ/,

/məˈrɪskəʊ/, U.S.

/məˈrɪskoʊ/

Inflections: Plural Moriscoes, Moriscos.

Forms: 1500s–1700s Morisko, 1500s– Morisco, 1600s Morissco. Also (in sense B. 2) with lower-case initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Spanish. Etymon: Spanish morisco.

Etymology: < Spanish morisco (925 as a name, 1073 as adjective, 12th cent. as noun; early 17th cent. in sense B. 3) < post-classical Latin Mauriscus (9th cent. denoting Arab horses) < classical Latin Maurus Moor n.² + -iscus -esque suffix. In sense B. 1b after Mexican Spanish morisco.Compare Middle French morisque , also (after -esque -esque suffix) moresque (mid 14th cent. in guiterne moresche ; late 15th cent. in sense ‘of or relating to the Moors, or their distinctive style of decoration’; 1379 in à la morisque ; 1531 as noun denoting Arabesque ornament; 14th cent. denoting a type of Spanish coin; 1448 denoting a type of dance; 1526 in danse morisque ; 1478 denoting a Moor subject to the Christian king of Spain; 1611 denoting a Moorish woman; French (from early 17th cent.) mauresque , (now archaic) moresque ), also Middle French morisco Moor (1569; readopted 1810 in historical use), French moresque Moorish Arabic (1845), morisque person who is the child of a white person and a mixed-race person (1805); Italian moresco (a1455 as adjective; a1536 as noun denoting Moorish Arabic; 1620 denoting a Moor subject to the Christian king of Spain; 1869 in stile moresco ), also moresca type of dance (1760 in Baretti); Catalan morisc , adjective (14th cent.); Old Occitan morisque , morisqua , adjective (1498), also moresqua type of dance (1453; also in forms moresca (1472), moresque (1509)); post-classical Latin moresca type of dance (1508 in a British source). Compare earlier Moresque n. and Morisk n., and also Moresca n., Moresco adj. and n., Moresque adj., Morisca n., Moriscan adj. and n., Morisk adj. Compare also Moorish adj.² and (with sense B. 2) morris dance n. The English words Morisco and Moresco are broadly synonymous and have probably been used by most writers without any strong sense of any etymological or semantic distinction between the two words. Moresque is, however, (unlike its French etymon) largely restricted in reference to the decorative arts. Morisco occurs slightly earlier in English as a place name, denoting the area of north-west Africa formerly known as Mauretania, from which the Moors originated:1531 T. Elyot Bk. named Gouernour i. xviii. sig. Jvii Noble Romanes, whan they were in Numidia, Libia, & suche other countrayes, which nowe be called Barbary & Morisco, in the vacation season from warres,..hunted lions, liberdes, & suche other bestis.

Now chiefly archaic and historical.
