Italian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Unknown. On the face of it, identity with Late Latin ambascia, ambactia (“service”), from Proto-Germanic *ambahtiją, seems plausible; e.g. through a development “service” → “toil” → “distress”. If so, related with ambasciata (“embassy”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
ambascia f (plural ambasce)
