Etymology

Borrowed from Italian arcipelago, semantically shifted from Byzantine Greek Ἀρχιπέλαγος (Arkhipélagos) "the greatest of seas" (as the Grecian elements archi- and pelagus imply) to "a collection of islands", possibly due it being over-imposed in maps of the island-rich Aegean Sea. See: Italian Nouns 'arcipelago'.
