Etymology
Borrowed from a South Slavic (a)ciganinŭ (cf. Church Slavonic циганинъ (ciganinŭ)), from early modern Greek τσιγγάνος (tsingános) or ατσίγγανος (atsínganos), variant of Byzantine Greek ἀθίγγανος (athínganos, “untouchable”)(a compound of privative ἀ- (a-) + θιγγάνω (thingánō, “to touch”)), used also as the name of a Christian sect. Compare Russian цыган (cygan), Hungarian cigány, Portuguese cigano and German Zigeuner, which are from the same Greek source (as well as Italian zingaro, French tzigane, ultimately).
