Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From a Vulgar Latin derivative of Latin ieiūnium[1][2]. The initial Latin je- or ie- may have changed to de- over time, leading to di- in Italian. Compare the similar Catalan dejuni. Alternatively digiuno may have been regressively derived from the verb digiunare[3][4], and was independent of this Latin word.

Etymology 2

From digiuno, adapted from the Latin jējūnum, iēiūnum.

Noun

Etymology 3

From Vulgar Latin, from Latin ieiūnus. The Latin derives from Proto-Italic *jagjūnos, itself from Proto-Indo-European *Hyeh₂ǵ-yu-, adjectival form of *Hyeh₂ǵ-ye/o- (to sacrifice).
