τσαγκάρης

Greek[edit]

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 (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).
