digiuno

• IPA^(key): /diˈd͡ʒu.no/
• Rhymes: -uno
• Hyphenation: di‧giù‧no

From a Vulgar Latin derivative of Latin ieiūnium.^[1][2] 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,^[3][4] and was independent of this Latin word.
