Meaning & usage
dark-skinned (especially said of Moors)
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Byzantine Greek Αἰγύπτιος (Aigúptios, “Egyptian”), apparently early enough for the Greek υ to have still been pronounced /ø/ or /e/ yet late enough for the borrowing to escape the Romance palatalisation of velars before front vowels. Compare gheppio < αἰγυπιός (aigupiós). Documented in Italian since 1282. Doublet of egizio.
a species of crow
a species of porcini-type mushroom
