Where this word comes from
Derived from French Tunisie (“Tunisia”), from Tunis and -ie (“country-name-forming suffix”). The city name is ultimately from Arabic تُونِس (tūnis, “Tunis”). Its deeper origin is uncertain; proposed explanations connect the name with a Berber word tns (“encampment”), or with the Phoenician goddess Tanit and the ancient city Tynes. Compare the parallel adaptations Norwegian Nynorsk Tunisia, Danish Tunesien, Swedish Tunisien, English Tunisia and Italian Tunisia.
