Italian citations of partezan
The (English-English dictionary) "The World Book Dictionary" (ed. 1979) says:
The French partisan stems from a *dialectal* Italian partezan [with "e" and "z" {in the *Italian*}], which derives from the [*standard*] Italian partigiano, which comes from the Italian parte, which stems from the Latin pars which means part.
