Etymologie (Englisch)

In summary

Middle High German Cigäwnär (mentioning, 1420s), compare Zeginer and Ziginer (15th century). Most likely from a Byzantine Greek term meaning "untouchable"; compare the Modern Greek designations Τσιγγάνοι (Tsingánoi), Αθίγγανοι (Athínganoi). Cognate to Hungarian cigány and terms borrowed from it such as English tzigane, Portuguese cigano, French tzigane, Romanian țigan, and Russian цыга́н (cygán); see those entries for other cognates and for more information. The extended senses derive from racist and/or Romantic stereotypes of the Roma.
