Arnaut

== English == === Alternative forms === Arnaout === Etymology === From Turkish arnavut, from Ottoman Turkish آرناوود (arnavut, “an Albanian”). Entered Ottoman Turkish from the Byzantine Greek ethnonym Arvanitis (Αρβανίτης) after the syllable cluster van was rearranged through metathesis to nav giving the final Turkish forms as Arnavut and Arnaut. Meanwhile in Greek the name Arvanitis was derived from the original term Alvanitis (Ἀλβάνίτης) as a process of rhotacism Alv- into Arv-. In return Alvanitis stems from the name Alvanos (Ἀλβάνος) Albanian, from Ancient Greek Ἀλβανοί (Albanoí). === Pronunciation === (US) IPA(key): /ˈɑɹˌnaʊt/ === Noun === Arnaut (plural Arnauts) (historical) An inhabitant of Albania and neighboring mountainous regions, especially an Albanian serving in the Turkish army.
