τσαγκάρης

Greek

Etymology

Inherited from Byzantine Greek τσαγκάρης (tsankárēs), from Mediaeval and Late Koine Greek τσαγκάριος (tsankários) & τζαγκάριος (tzankários),[1] τζαγγάριος (tzangários) with simplification of ⟨γγ > γκ⟩, from Koine Greek τζάγγη (tzángē)[2] + -άριος (-ários).[3] The Hellenistic term, chiefly in the plural, found as a transcription[4] of Late Latin zancha / tzanga, from Persian ظانگا (zângâ)[5] as in Parthian. Cognates include the Byzantine Greek τζαγγίον n (tzangíon, “a kind of Byzantine shoe”) and possibly the modern τσαγανό n (tsaganó).
