banditn.

Brit.

/ˈbandɪt/, U.S.

/ˈbændᵻt/

Forms: Plural banˈditti, ˈbandits. Forms: 1500s bandeto, 1500s–1600s bandetto, 1600s bandite, banditto, bandyto, banditi, 1600s–1700s banditty, bandito, 1600s– bandit. plural 1500s bandeti, 1600s banditie, 1600s–1700s banditi, banditty, bandity, 1600s– banditti; β. 1500s–1600s bandettos, 1600s banditos, banditoes, bandetties, bandities, 1600s–1700s banditties, 1600s– bandits.

Etymology: < Italian bandito ‘proclaimed, proscribed,’ in plural banditi , noun, ‘outlaws,’ past participle of bandire = medieval Latin bannīre to proclaim, proscribe: see ban n.¹, ban v., and compare banish v. Early spellings, as well as the current plural banditti , were apparently corrupted by form-association with ditto n., Italian detto, plural detti. The Italian singular bandito is not now used in English: bandit is also modern French. But the plural banditti (for Italian banditi) is more used than bandits, especially in reference to an organized band of robbers; in which sense it has also been used as a collective singular; in 17th cent. this was taken as an individual singular, with plural -is, -ies.

a. literal. One who is proscribed or outlawed; hence, a lawless desperate marauder, a brigand: usually applied to members of the organized gangs which infest the mountainous districts of Italy, Sicily, Spain, Greece, and Turkey. Also, in modern use, = gangster n. 1a. See also one-armed bandit n. at one-armed adj. Compounds. Bandetto in first quot. may be attributive noun or participial adjective.
