"τσιγγάνος" meaning in All languages combined

See τσιγγάνος on Wiktionary

Noun [Greek]

IPA: /t͡siŋˈɡa.nos/
Etymology: Via Byzantine Greek Ἀτσίγγανος (Atsínganos) and Ἀθίγγανος (Athínganos) from Ancient Greek ἀθίγγανος (athínganos, “who doesn't want to be touched; untouchable”), ultimately a compound of privative ἀ- (a-) + θιγγάνω (thingánō, “to touch”). The Middle Greek word had initially been the name of a Christian sect, the Melchizedekian sect, which was subsequently associated to Romani people. Nişanyan suggests, due to the very recent first attestation of the term in Greek (1378 AD), a Turkish lemma çıgañ /t͡ʃɯˈɣaɲ/ ("destitute, lazy") as its origin, which, in turn, explains the replacement of the accent. This modern accent could also be influenced by the feminine form Ἀτσιγγάνα (Atsingána). Petrounias, however, explains αθίγγανος (athínganos) as a paretymological variant of ἀτσίγγανος (atsínganos), influenced by the name of the Christian sect. Also see Italian zingano, German Zigeuner, Turkish çingene.
