Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Turkish, combined with an English element. Partly a borrowing from Italian. Etymons: French cinganes, cingane; Ottoman Turkish Çingāne, English -s; Italian zingani, zingano.
Etymology: In α. forms < Middle French singuanes (1553, plural), cinganes (c1579, plural (singular cingane); in French also as †zingane (1637)), probably < Italian (see below). In β. forms < Ottoman Turkish Çingāne, Çingān, Çingene, Çingen (1525; Turkish Çingene , (regional) Çingan (plural Çingeneler ); < medieval Greek: see below) + English -s, plural ending. In γ. forms < Italian †zingani, plural of †zingano (a1470), probably < medieval Greek τσίγγανος (see Tzigane n.). Compare zingana n.1Compare early modern German Zingyner (1514; compare Zigeuner n.), Spanish cingano (1631 or earlier), both probably < Italian. In the β. forms with initial z- perhaps partly showing alteration after Italian zingano. With the form Zinganaes perhaps compare Italian zingana (see zingana n.1).
Obsolete.
