Etymology

From a Vulgar Latin derivative of Latin ieiūnium. The initial Latin ie- or je- may have changed to de- over time, leading to di- in Italian. Compare the similar Catalan dejuni. Alternatively digiuno may have been regressively derived from the verb digiunare, and was independent of this Latin word.
