Forms: 1500s prestigiouse, 1500s prestygiouse, 1600s praestigious, 1600s– prestigious.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin praestīgiōsus.

Etymology: < classical Latin praestīgiōsus full of tricks, deceitful (2nd cent. a.d.) < praestīgia prestige n. + -ōsus -ous suffix; compare -ious suffix. In sense 2 after prestige n. and probably also French prestigieux having or conferring prestige (1574 in Middle French in an isolated attestation in this sense, and subsequently from c1780; also in senses ‘prodigious, supernatural’ (1550), ‘under the influence of a spell’ (1556), ‘charming, dazzling’ (1578)); compare slightly earlier prestiginous adj. in this sense. Use in this sense was frequently criticized in the 20th cent., and O.E.D. Suppl. (1982) at that entry comments ‘in this sense many prefer to use prestigeful a. or some other adjective’.Compare Italian prestigioso (a1396 in sense 1, 1942 in sense 2 (after French)), Spanish prestigioso deceitful (1532 or earlier), dazzling (1844), having high status (1845; after French), amazing (1846), powerful, distinguished (1866), Catalan prestigiós (1868 in sense 2 (after French)). N.E.D. (1908) also gives the pronunciation (prestī·dʒəs) /prɛˈstiːdʒəs/.

1. Of the nature of or characterized by sleight of hand, juggling, conjuring or trickery; deceptive, illusory; (of a person) that cheats or deceives, deluding. Now chiefly in extended use: dazzlingly skilful. Now rare.
