Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin Messāpii , -ic suffix.

Etymology: < classical Latin Messāpii (plural) inhabitants of Messapia (use as noun of masculine plural of Messāpius , adjective: see Messapian adj. and n.) + -ic suffix. Compare Italian messapico (a1504).

A. n.

A pre-Roman language known from several hundred inscriptions (mostly funerary) found in the Salentine peninsula of south-eastern Italy (modern Apulia), which are written in two similar alphabets, both of Greek origin. Also called Messapian.Often identified or compared with Illyrian, about which, however, little is known; the language is clearly Indo-European but not a member of the Italic group.
