"ọlọza" meaning in All languages combined

See ọlọza on Wiktionary

Noun [Olukumi]

IPA: /ɔ̄.lɔ́.zà/ Forms: ọlọ́zà [canonical]
Etymology: For the first sense, from oní- (“one who has”) + ọzà (“town”), compare with Yoruba ọlọ́jà, Itsekiri ọlájà, for the second sense, from oní- (“one who has”) + ọzà (“market”). The semantic shift of ọjà from meaning town, village to market seems to have happened after the adoption of ọlọ́jà (king) as a title. Such a semantic shift exists in the dialects of the Yoruba language as well, but it is possible this term was borrowed into Olukumi from Central Yoruba dialects or even Itsekiri.
