Etimologie (Engels)
Borrowed in the 17th century from Venetan gazeta (“newspaper”), from gazeta dele novità (literally “a gazeta (halfpenny) of news”), named for the cost (one gazeta) of the newspaper. The etymology of the coin’s name is disputed. Most likely, it is from Venetan garzia (1518), variant of carzie (“a coin of little value”) (dialectal Greek χαρξια (charxia)), ultimately from Ancient Greek χαλκός (khalkós, “copper, copper alloy”), itself probably ultimately a borrowing. Traditionally it is usually considered a diminutive of Latin gāza (“treasure”) (as in Medieval Latin gazetum), from Ancient Greek γάζα (gáza), of Iranian origin, probably ultimately Old Median *ganǰam (“treasure”) (compare Persian گنج (ganj)). An alternative explanation derives it from German Kreuzer (“a small coin with a cross”), due to a cross on one of the coin’s faces.
