malaguetan.

Brit.

/maləˈɡɛtə/, U.S.

/ˌmɑləˈɡ(w)eɪdə/

Forms:

α. 1500s manegete, 1500s maniguetta, 1800s maniguette.

β. 1600s mallagetta, 1600s mellegette, 1600s–1700s malegutta, 1600s– malaguetta, 1700s malagato, 1700s malaget, 1700s malagetta, 1700s malaghetta, 1700s malegetta, 1700s mileguetta, 1700s–1800s malaguette, 1800s malaguet, 1800s meleguetta, 1800s– malagueta, 1800s– melegueta, 1900s– mallaguetta.

Origin: Probably (i) a borrowing from French. Or (ii) a borrowing from Portuguese. Etymons: French malaguette; Portuguese malagueta.

Etymology: Probably < (i) Middle French †malaguette (1544; compare the variant maniguette , found in the same text and now the standard French form), or its etymon (ii) Portuguese malagueta (1470 in form malageta ) < Italian meleghetta (1214) < melega millet (10th cent., < a vulgar Latin derivative of classical Latin milium millet: see milium n.¹) + -etta (see -et suffix¹). Compare post-classical Latin melegeta a spice or flower found in Java (c1214 and a1331 in Italian sources cited by Du Cange), explained in Simon a Cordo Clavis Sanationis (1486) as a diminutive of the Italian word for millet on the grounds that its grains resemble those of millet.Portuguese Costa da malagueta , Malagueta occurs as a place name for the Gulf of Guinea from the mid 15th cent., and rapidly also in other languages (compare Malaguet 1492 on a German map); the spellings Mellegette and Menigette both occur for the place name in S. Purchas Pilgrimes (1625). Compare French Côte des Graines . Similar words occur in at least two accounts of West Africa: W. Towerson (d. 1577) gives ‘manegete afoye , graines ynough’ in a list of phrases from a language spoken in Guinea, printed in Hakluyt, Voy. (1599) II. ii. 27, and M. Kingsley ( West Afr. Studies (1899) ii. 57) says that in the language spoken at Cape Palmas the name is emanequetta , but that this is very local, the more usual word being waizanzag . These forms may represent words in West Atlantic, Mande, or Kwa languages which affected the form (compare α. forms) and meaning of the Romance word, or (as Kingsley suggests) they may themselves be of Romance origin. The form melegueta is usual among botanists, being the specific epithet of the plant; malagueta is commoner in culinary contexts.

The capsules or pungent seeds of a West African plant, Aframomum melegueta (family Zingiberaceae), formerly much used in Europe as a spice, as a flavouring in wine, etc., and in medicine; also called grains of paradise, Guinea grains. Also: the plant from which this spice is obtained. Now chiefly attributive, esp. in malagueta pepper.Quot. 1931 at β. shows confusion with African pepper, Xylopia aethiopica.
