Forms: 1900s– zami, 1900s– zammie, 2000s– zamie, 2000s– zammi.

Origin: A borrowing from French Creole. Etymon: French Creole zami.

Etymology: < French Creole zami, zamie friend, shortened < (i) French des amies (plural, with silent final -s ) < des indefinite plural article + the plural of amie female friend (see amie n.) and (ii) French les amies < les definite plural article + the plural of amie.In spoken French the masculine ami and the feminine amie (and their plural forms) are homophones, but the sense suggests that the feminine noun underlies the French Creole word in this use.
