/skarəˈmuːʃ//skarəˈmuːtʃ/
Forms: α. 1600s scaramuzza, scaramoucha, scaramouchi(o, scaramouchè, scaramoche, scaramuccio, scaramuccie, scaramuchi(o, scaramucha, scarramuccio, 1600s–1700s scaramouchi; β. 1600s scharamouch, 1600s– scaramouch.
Etymology: < Italian Scaramuccia (see sense 1); the name is a use of scaramuccia skirmish n., in allusion to the character of the personage. The β form, which now alone survives, comes through the French Scaramouche (Molière); the α forms represent corruptly the Italian original.
1.
a. (As proper name, with capital S.) A stock character in Italian farce, a cowardly and foolish boaster of his own prowess, who is constantly being cudgelled by Harlequin.The character was intended in ridicule of the Spanish don, and was dressed in Spanish costume, usually black; the costume was often adopted in masquerades.The clever impersonation of the part by Tiberio Fiurelli, who brought his company of Italian players to London in 1673, rendered the word very popular in England during the last quarter of the 17th cent.
