Forms: 1500s–1600s piazzo, 1500s– piazza, 1600s piatza, 1600s piatzo, 1600s piatzza, 1600s–1700s piaza, 1700s peazer, 1700s piadza; Scottish (in sense 2a, in plural form) pre-1700 peaches, pre-1700 peatches, pre-1700 piatches; U.S. regional and nonstandard (in sense 2b) 1800s pe-azer, 1800s peazzer, 1800s– piazzer, 1900s– piazzy, 1900s– pizer, 1900s– p'razza (in African-American usage), 1900s– pyazzuh (in African-American usage).

Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian piazza.

Etymology: < Italian piazza square, marketplace (see place n.¹).With the form piaza perhaps compare Italian †piaza (15th cent. or earlier), variant of piazza . In plural form piazze after the Italian plural form. In sense 2, the usage arose on account of the Italian custom of constructing colonnades round open squares, and apparently began with the popular application of the name to the arcade built to the designs of Inigo Jones on the north and east sides of Covent Garden, London, instead of to the open market place itself. N.E.D.(1906) gives the pronunciation as (piˌæ·ză) /pɪˈæzə/, which remained the dominant U.S. pronunciation throughout much of the 20th cent. (regional forms, chiefly in sense 2b, had the first syllable as in pie , or stress on the first syllable). For British English, Jones, Eng. Pronouncing Dict., gives the medial consonant sound as /dz/ (with the alternative of /z/) in editions up to the 11th (1956); in the 12th (1963) he gives /piˈætsə/ (with the alternative of /ɑː/ in the second syllable).

1. A public square or marketplace, esp. one in an Italian town; any similar open public space surrounded by buildings. Also figurative and in extended use.
