Dissimilated form of earlier zingano, most likely from a Greek term meaning "untouchable". Compare the modern Greek designations Τσιγγάνοι (Tsingánoi), Αθίγγανοι (Athínganoi), τσιγγάνος (tsingános). Cognate to German Zigeuner. The word is considered to be offensive by some in educated speech, the most common preferred euphemisms being nomade (“nomadic”), Rom (“Romani”), Sinto (“Sindhi”) and rarely also gitano (“traveller”).
