facci

== Italian == === Etymology === From fa' +‎ -ci. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈfat.t͡ʃi/ Homophone: Facci Rhymes: -attʃi Hyphenation: fàc‧ci === Verb === facci compound of fa', the second-person singular imperative form of fare, with ci === References === === Anagrams === ficca == Sicilian == === Etymology === Ultimately inherited from Latin faciēs. The attended inherited reconstruction should be *fazzi (cf. Sicilian spezzi). It remains unclear how the palatalization appeared. One hypothesis leads towards the linguistic influence of an Old French or Norman stratum. Compare, for more, accia, sacciu, siccia for similiar morphological developments into Sicilian. Cognate with Italian faccia, Catalan faç, Sardinian facci, Galician and Portuguese face. That, along with the apparent absence—at least in the 1920's—of a Sicilian variant with final /-a/ (again per the AIS), makes a borrowing from Italian faccia unlikely. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈfatt͡ʃi/, [ˈfatt͡ʃɪ] Hyphenation: fàc‧ci === Noun === facci f (plural facci) face ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== See also ==== === References ===
