Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Italian, combined with another borrowing form Italian. Etymons: Italian alto, Italian altissimo.

Etymology: Apparently formed in English < Italian alto high (see alto n.²) + altissimo, superlative of alto (see altissimo n.). N.E.D. (1884) took the following (quot. 1855¹) to be an early example of this word, but this in fact shows a typographical error later corrected by the author (compare quot. 1855²):1855 Old Pictures in Florence xxxv, in Browning's Men & Women II. 47 Turning the Bell-tower's altaltissimo.1855 R. Browning Let. Oct. (1933) 41 I perceive some blunders in my poem..which I shall..quietly correct hereafter... For ‘Turning the Bell-tower's altaltissimo’ read ‘And turn the bell-tower's alt to altissimo’.
