IPA: /ˈitsa/
Etymology: Feminine diminutive, inherited from the mediaeval Byzantine Greek -ίτσα (-ítsa), formed from -ίτσ(ιν) (-íts(in)) + -α (-a), from Byzantine Greek -ίκιν (-íkin), -ίκιον (-íkion); for this compare Greek κορίτσι (korítsi). Alternatively, from shortening of -ίτισσα (-ítissa), the feminine form of Ancient Greek -ίτης (-ítēs), as in Greek ξενομερίτισσα (xenomerítissa, “female newcomer”) and Pontic Greek ξενομερίτσα (xenomerítsa). For placenames and some proper nouns sometimes borrowed from Proto-Slavic *-ica, as in Γρανίτσα (Granítsa).
