VOCABULARY OF MODERN ENGLISH TRANSLATED INTO ITALIAN i cxxxv
VI

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
1. THE design of this book is to meet the requirements of an English student of Italian
rather than those of an Italian student of English. The English-Italian vocabulary is merely
for the practical convenience of English-speaking people who may have occasion to speak or
write in Italian. Obsolete words have therefore been excluded from this part of the book.

2.Geographical names which differ in the two languages have been entered in alphabetical

order among the ordinary words.

3. The sources drawn upon have been as follows. For marine and engineering matters
the authorities utilised are the marine and technical dictionaries of Dabovich, Guglielmotti and
Paasch, the last named of which is distinguished by a beautiful series of plates. The names of
land animals otherwise unknown to me have been ascertained by taking the scientific names
given by Bulle and Rigutini and looking these out in Baird's Cyclopaedia of Natural Science,
those of birds in a similar way by comparing the scientific names in the list of birds in the
Manuale del Cacciatore, one of the series published by Hoepli, with those in Morris's British
Birds, those of fishes directly from Dabovich, and those of plants from the Catalogo poliglotto
delle piante by the Contessa di San Giorgio. The bulk, however, of the volume is of course
occupied with general literature, and has been compiled from Petrocchi (Dizionario universale
delta lingua italiand), Tommaseo and Bellini {Dizionario italiano, in eight quarto volumes), Bulle
and Rigutini (Italienisches-Deutsches WorterbucK), and Rigutini and Fanfani {Lingua italiana
parlatd). From one or another of these all the idioms and illustrative phrases are taken, most
of them being from Petrocchi. Occasional use has also been made of most of the dictionaries
enumerated in the list below.

4. meaning of obsolete words are given, generally speaking, without

Dante in Italian literature
reference to canto and verse. References
quotations from the Divina Commedia are followed by
are also supplied in a few other cases when the interest or peculiarity of the word seemed to
make this desirable, as in the instance of the word Capere.
5. It may be convenient to set out here the method pursued in arranging the information
presented. The head word, together with any variants in its spelling and with any obsolete
variants in a parenthesis, is followed by m. or /. to mark its gender, when a substantive, and by

a statement of its etymology in another parenthesis when this can be given with suitable
brevity, as mentioned below. This is followed by an exposition of the meaning or meanings
and of the principal idiomatic phrases in which the word occurs.

6. Obsolete and local words are distinguished by an asterisk and dagger respectively, and
the obsolete or local meanings of words which in some senses are still in general use, as well as
the corresponding idioms and phrases, are similarly distinguished and in addition are numbered
in Roman numerals i, ii, the current phraseology being separated into sections with Arabic
iii...,

numerals i, 2, 3.... This numbering is purely for convenience of reference, and is not intended
 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS vn

to imply that the word in question has so many different senses. Where a word represents
one or more words really different in origin the article upon it is divided into separate parts

distinguished by Roman capitals A, B, C.... This separation, however, is not carried into the
account of the obsolete uses of a word for instance, Granata. ;

7. be noticed that apart from the distinctive characters of the head words in their
It will

alphabetical order, there are two sizes of print throughout the dictionary. The larger of these
has been used for those words which will be most looked for, and the smaller type for the rest.
In the latter category are included all obsolete and local expressions and technical terms, words
which are immediate derivatives of other words, such as substantives in -amento, -atura, and so
on, known as verbal substantives, as well as adjectival substantives and verbs and adjectives
formed from substantives, and also words which are practically identical in Italian and English.
The local terms are marked with a dagger, as stated above they are for the most part Tuscan, ;

and Petrocchi's collection of them seems to be a fairly full one. They are distinguished by him
according to the districts where they are in use, but it did not appear necessary from the point
of view of the present book to state these localities.
An intermediate size of type has been employed for the Anglo-Italian vocabulary.
8. The derivatives above referred
together with their sub-derivatives and all the
to,
" "
diminutives, augmentatives, peggiorativi and so on, which are so abundant in Italian, when
the alphabetical order makes them follow their primary, are marked with the abbreviation Aff.
(affiliated), and as a rule it is left to the common sense of the student to see their meaning ;

there is really no more reason for giving a separate translation of a word like Borbottamento,
a verbal substantive of Borbottare, to stammer, than of, say, Borbottano, the third person
plural of its present tense. Such groups of words might perhaps have been labelled Derivatives,
but sometimes, as for instance under the word Platino, they include compounds partly formed
from other words left untranslated because the second element is practically identical with a
corresponding English word and sometimes they are sub-derivatives ;
thus both Causare and
Causazione are in this book affiliated to Causa. Sometimes, again, an word is from a
affiliated
Latin original ;
thus Flatulento from the Latin flatulentus, 'not from Flato, the word to which
is

it is affiliated. The abbreviation Aff. is therefore to be taken to indicate that the words against
which stands are for the most part left untranslated, and that their
it
meaning is then to be
ascertained by reference to the preceding head word. A
slight departure from alphabetical
order has sometimes been made with words of this class for instance, a verbal substantive in
;

-amento affiliated to the corresponding verb in -are follows instead of preceding it.

9. The same principle of leaving out unnecessary translations has been followed with
the head words where the Italian and English are sufficiently similar no one would look ;

out such a word, for instance, as Educare, since it obviously means Educate. The abbrevia-
"
tion as E." has been employed in these cases, and may be regarded as indicating that the
word is employed in thesame way as the corresponding word in English. Words of this
character might really be omitted altogether; it is,however, just possible that a dictionary
might be consulted by a person wishing to know if there was such a word in Italian as Educare.
For this reason no uncompounded word has been intentionally excluded from the book which
could possibly be met with in an ordinary newspaper as Italian, with the
exception of purely
technical terms of science which have been included
only where the of the Italian meaning
expression might not be self-evident to an English master of the science concerned, or where
there is some feature of special interest in the word or its derivation, No
e.g. Lucilia.
English doctor or chemist could possibly fail to see the meaning of such terms as Pericardite,
Trimetilamina, or wish to see them translated into their English dresses as Pericarditis,
Trimethylamine.
viii INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
Where an Italian word and its English equivalent have the same variations of
10.

meaning no notice of such variations is taken, however widely the several meanings may differ
from each other. Thus Caso, like the English Case, means grammatical case, legal case, chance,
circumstance Piede, like Foot, is used for a foot of a verse.
;
The context would make it
clear what sense was intended, whilst, if in some peculiar instance it was not clear, the setting
out of the various possible significations in a dictionary would make the matter no clearer.

11. In some the explanation is given in Italian, and in

instances of obsolete words
all such casestranscribed from
isPetrocchi. The reason of this is that it is not always possible
to tell without the context what is intended, but anyone using the dictionary to find the

meaning of a word will have a context before him, which will probably make the matter plain.
Examples will be found under Cofoggiata, Cofollo, Daghesciare.

1 A1J changes of spelling are not given

2. many words are spelt variously with double
;

or single consonants such as Commento or Comento, seam in the deck of a ship, and with
or without a final e, like Agon or Agone, the gar-fish, but it is hoped that all variations are
entered which are necessary to enable any word to be found.

Accentuation.

13. A supplied to the head word in all cases where it seemed desirable
tonic accent is

to indicate the pronunciation, that is, to the majority of words other than verbs in -are or
-ire, of more than one syllable. The hard and
soft s and z are distinguished by having a dot
over them when they has the sound of an English z, and z of dz, the undotted z
are soft ;
thus s

being pronounced ts and the undotted s hard as in this.' These dots are only given to the
'

head words, not where the s or z occurs in any of the illustrative phrases, and the same rule
" " " "
has been followed as regards the tonic accent. The open and close pronunciation of the
vowels E and O is indicated in the head words by a grave and acute accent respectively.
No marks of accentuation, except on a final vowel, have been supplied to the obsolete words.

Diminutives and other accessory forms.

14. There
is a great variety of these in Italian, indicated in the text by abbreviations

corresponding to the meanings. Of these abbreviations dim. for diminutive and augm. for
augmentative speak for themselves, \>\A pegg., scherz., spreg. and vezz., which stand for Italian
words with no simple English equivalent, may need a little explanation. A peggiorativo,
that is a word with a suffix of this, so to say, pejorative character, in Italian usually -accio,
denotes a bad quality of the primary, as Ragazzo, boy, Ragazzaccio, horrid boy scherz., for ;

Ital. scherzando, means that the term is used jestingly spreg., for Ital. spregiante, indicates;

contempt or disparagement and vezz., for Ital. vezzeggiativo, denotes endearment or some kind
;

of prettiness.
It may be remarked here, a propos of diminutives, that when a word has two diminutives,
viz. in -ina and -ino, the termination -ino indicates the smaller of the two, and both of them
"
are in many cases not only of a diminutive character but also are vezzeggiativi." Thus
Ragazzino is marked in the dictionary dim. vezz., i.e. dear little boy. All these suffixes can
be freely piled upon one another, as Abatucciaccio, marked dim. spreg. pegg., meaning something
"
like horrid dirty little abbot," Fratacchione, marked augm. pegg. scherz., meaning that it is a
term employed jestingly for "great lout of a monk," or something of that sort. Almost the
entire set of such formations will be found under the word Donna.
 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS ix

Etymology.

15. Every principal word, the source of which has been traced by philologists, has its
derivation stated shortly in a parenthesis preceding its explanation, unless the interest of the
word or of its connections is such as to justify a longer account. Where this is the case such
an account has been appended in small type. The most complete account of Italian etymology
is that by Prof. Pianigiani, whose book on the
subject is accordingly the one chiefly followed
here, but extensive use has also been made of Korting's Lateinisch-Romanisches Worterbuch,
Walde's Lateinisches etymologisches Worterbuch, Prellwitz's Etymologisches Worterbuch der Grie-
chisctien Sprache and Skeat's Etymological English Dictionary, whilst the other
etymological
books mentioned below have occasionally been consulted.
16. Where there is an English word, or words, akin to the word under discussion the
immediate parentage and connections of the Italian word are briefly given, coupled with a
reference to Skeat for readers desirous of more information. Such references may be taken
as being made either to Prof. Skeat's Concise Etymological Dictionary, Oxford 1901, or to the

1910 edition of his larger etymological dictionary, except where specific reference is made to
the latter.

17. All Italian words in ordinary use are discussed by Pianigiani, but there are a consider-
able number of obsolete or technical terms, especially seafaring terms, which are not touched

upon by any writer and which there seems to be no cognate form in any other of the Romance
to

languages. nothing can be said about the derivation, and the observation
In such cases
which occurs here and there in the present book that an etymology is doubtful or unknown
is to be taken as shewing that though the word is discussed by the authorities no definite

is obtainable, the etymology given being only guess-work, not indeed the wild
history guessing
of former days, but still guessing.
The derivation of words of learned formation from Greek has been given only in a few
exceptional cases where it could not readily be traced by anyone with a smattering of Greek by
reference to a Greek lexicon.
1 8. A word marked thus (Z.) is to be taken as derived from an almost exactly similar
word in Latin, with the implication that little or nothing is known of its remoter origin. Thus
Sanie is from the Latin saniem, accusative of sanies, but nothing is known of the origin of this.

writings have come down to us. In the Romance languages many words occur which point
clearly to a Latin original of this kind. Such hypothetical forms are marked in the present
book with a double asterisk, a single asterisk having been appropriated as above stated to words
occurring in old Italian authors but now obsolete.

to numerous questions on knotty points and saved me from many mistakes.

In referring words to a Latin original, the nominative case has been generally used,
21.

though the actual source of Romance words is not the nominative but the accusative. It
seemed more convenient to give the reference in this way to a word which would be found in a
Latin dictionary by its nominative, and could not mislead, since no one would suppose that such
a word as Vindice would be from Vindex rather than Vindicem.

Conclusion.

22. No pains have been spared to make the book as accurate as possible, but mistakes
must inevitably have crept in, the correction of any of which will be gratefully received. The
work was begun in the autumn of 1906, and the first draft completed in the spring of 1911 its ;

aim throughout is the practical one of explaining only what needed explanation for an English
student, not that of presenting a thesaurus of the Italian language. The book is not written
for children a competent knowledge of English in the reader is assumed but it is framed to
; ;

cover the requirements of a beginner, and anyone should be able to make out the meaning of
ordinary Italian books by its aid, as soon as he has obtained some rudimentary knowledge from
a grammar. Lastly, I wish to express my best thanks to Signorina Bianca Castelli, who has
acted as my referee on all points where it seemed desirable to have the assistance of a native
of Italy.

NOTES UPON THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE

Origin.

Italian, like the other Romance languages, French, Provengal, Spanish, Portuguese,
Roumanian and sundry dialects less widely spoken, is a modified form of ancient spoken Latin,
but has embodied in itself considerable accretions from Germanic and other sources, introduced
by invaders from the north and off the sea. It is, in fact, the nearest of these languages to old
popular Latin, or Folk-Latin, as it what one would expect from the
has been called, which is

fact that Italy was the home of Latin. In tracing the etymology of a word, it is often the case
that we can take it back to a Latin or Old High German original, but no further; these
languages form a wall behind which it is frequently impossible to go so as to reach the
primitive root. The loose way in which Italian was developed out of popular ungrammatical
Latin is well illustrated by the numerous feminine substantives formed in the singular number
from an original neuter plural, e.g. Battaglia from Battualia.

Punctuation.

is quite different from the

Italians make use of stops in a way which sometimes way in
which they are used in English, and it desirable for an English reader to be on his guard
is

upon this point. An illustration is given under the word Punteggiare.

Pronunciation.

All words are pronounced as they are spelt. As regards the accentuation this is indicated
in the book as stated in the Introductory remarks, 13, but there are one or two general rules
which a student may find it convenient to bear in mind. The termination -ano in the third
tenses of a verb has the a short, -ano, the stress
person plural of the present and imperfect
falling upon the antepenultimate, as Erano, they were, Mandavano, they were sending. But
-ano as the termination of a substantive generally has the a long, -ano, as Milano, the city
of Milan, Pastrano, cloak. It will be found also that derivative words ending in -olo, or with

the Florentine pronunciation -uolo, which express implements, occupations, or trades, have the
"
accent on the penultimate, and the o open," as Fumaiolo, smoke-stack, whilst words in -olo of
other descriptions are accented on the antepenultimate, as Bossolo, box.

Gender.

To the rules in the grammars may be added that scientific terms in -ite are feminine.

First person plural of verbs.

There a usage, which to an English person seems curious, of substituting the indefinite
is

third singular for the first person plural, as Noi si dice, for Noi diciamo, we say.
XTI NOTES UPON THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE

Sequence of tenses in a conditional sentence.

When the verb of the protasis is in the perfect tense, the past conditional must be used in
the apodosis even though it refers to future time, as, If he went to France he would get what
he wants, Se fosse andato in Francia avrebbe trovato ci6 che vuole. To make the simple
conditional admissible the protasis must be taken out of the perfect tense, as Se andasse in
Francia troverebbe cio che vuole. When the protasis is in the perfect the exact meaning of the
Italian phrase might be ambiguous in the absence of a context, viz. either If he went to France
he would get what he wants, or If he had gone to France he would have got what he wants.

Etymology of the open and close E and 0.

be found that an open E in Italian corresponds to a Latin E and a close E to a

It will

Latin Similarly an open O corresponds to a Latin O, and a close O to a Latin U.

I. For the
meaning of the terms open and close see the Dictionary at the beginning of the letters E and O.

Italian suffixes.

The might be expected, nearly all of Latin origin, as -accio and -azzo,
Italian suffixes are, as
< L. -aceus, -uccio < L. -uculus, -aggio < L. -aticum, and amount altogether to several hundreds.
A very few are Germanic, as -ardo, explained on p. 47, -ingo, meaning "son of" or "descended
from," e.g. in Casalingo. It would be beyond the scope of these stray notes to deal with the

subject of suffixes in any detail, but a word or two by way of illustration is subjoined.
The suffixes of the Indo-European languages fall into two main classes, those with a
definite meaning and those without one. The force of the latter is quite vague, expressing mere

relationship with the stem or root of the word. Thus the Latin testitnonium consists of the stem
testi-with three indefinite suffixes, mon, io, m
(of which the last, being substantival, ought
"
perhaps to be ranked as definite), and means thing having to do with witnessing," that is,
"evidence." The piling up of suffix upon suffix does not seem to add anything more than
would have resulted from the use of only one. Definitive suffixes, on the other hand, are often,
possibly always, the addition of an element from another root, and add something to the
meaning of the stem, as -bruin in Latin, see -bro, p. 101. To this class also belong the suffixes
which form the grammatical inflections of words; thus from the stem ama-, in Latin, are formed,
"
by addition of the suffixes o, s, t, meaning I," "thou," "he," the words amao (contracted to
amo), amas, amat, I love, thou lovest, he loves.
Word-formation of this kind not only contributed to the development of languages in pre-
historic times but is seen in the inflections of the Romance languages thus Amero, the future of
;

Amare, is for an earlier Ameraggio, = L. Amare habeo.

A list of English suffixes, many of which are also Italian, is given in Chambers' Twentieth
Century Dictionary, 1907 edition, p. 1154.
