Some sources derive this from the dialectal Arabic بُوزَقّ (būzaqq, “someone with a belly”), from بُو (bū, “someone with”) +‎ زَقّ (zaqq, “belly”). The semantic shift is explainable due to the container's characteristic shape, compare buzzicone (“fat person”), which seemingly retained the original meaning. Anyhow most certainly akin to buzzo (“fat, belly”). The voiceless /ts/ instead of /dz/ is likely due to influence of the other senses. ==== Noun ==== buzzico m (plural buzzichi) (regional, central-southern Italy) tin oil container with a long spout ==== Further reading ==== buzzico3 in Dizionario Italiano Olivetti, Olivetti Media Communication === Etymology 4 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Verb ==== buzzico first-person singular present indicative of buzzicare ==== Further reading ==== buzzico in Luciano Canepari, Dizionario di Pronuncia Italiana (DiPI)
