Italian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Unknown. On the face of it, identity with Late Latin ambascia, ambactia (“service”), from Proto-Germanic *ambahtiją, seems plausible; e.g. through a development “service” → “toil” → “distress”. If so, related with ambasciata (“embassy”).
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]ambascia f (plural ambasce)
