Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian zecchino.
Etymology: < Italian zecchino, †zechino, (regional: Venice) zecchin gold coin of a type minted in Venice (1536), (in extended use) any gold coin (a1565) < zecca the mint at Venice + -ino -ine suffix1. Compare chequin n., sequin n.Compare Middle French zekin (late 16th cent.), Middle French, French †zechin (late 16th cent.), French †zecchin , †zequin (early 17th cent.). Further etymology from Arabic. Italian zecca (14th cent.) and Spanish ceca (1511; attested earliest in a text from Sicily, which was at that time under Spanish rule), both in sense ‘mint’, are < Arabic sikka (in Spanish Arabic sekka ) die used for minting coins, (hence) coin ( > sicca n.1; sakk to excavate); compare Arabic dār al-sikka mint, lit. ‘house of minting’. With Spanish cequí compare e.g. maravedí maravedi n., another borrowing from an Arabic word formed with the same suffix. Specific forms. In plural form zecchini after the Italian plural form. The plural form sechinis shows double marking. With the initial s in some β. forms compare sequin n. In form zequi at α. forms probably after Spanish †cequí (beginning of the 17th cent.; < an apparently unattested Spanish Arabic variant of Arabic sikkī type of gold coin (although it is unclear whether that word is attested prior to the 19th cent., when several European dictionaries of Arabic record it) < sikka mint (see below) + -i suffix2).
Now historical or archaic.
A gold coin of a type minted by the Republic of Venice from the 13th cent., and until the 19th cent. widely used in trade and commerce throughout Europe, the eastern Mediterranean, and further afield; any of various similar coins minted elsewhere, esp. those produced to the same standards as the Venetian coin for the purpose of facilitating international trade; a ducat. Also occasionally more generally: †a coin; a piece of money (obsolete). Cf . chequin n., ducat n., sequin n. 1.
