Etymology

Borrowed from Italian: spese

Cognate with German: Speise

In summary

Borrowed from Italian spese, plural of spesa (“expense, expenditure”), from Latin expēnsa (“idem”). The word was borrowed into the German merchant's jargon of the 17th century, receiving a native plural ending -n. Earlier attestations (15th, 16th century) exist in Upper German sources in varying forms such as despessa, spesa, spessa, speise, speiz. Compare German Speise (“meal, foodstuff”), an earlier borrowing from the same Latin source.
