Fata Morgana in German

IPA: /ˌfa(ː)ta mɔʁˈɡaːna/ [Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Ca. 1800, from Italian fata Morgana, which see. The underlying fictional character of Morgan le Fay was already known in Middle High German as Feimurgān. The spelling as two unconnected nouns is somewhat unusual, but may be due to the derivation from a proper noun.
