Etymology

[edit]

From ri- +‎ sparmiare, the latter (now archaic) from Late Latin sparmiāre, from a Germanic source, likely Lombardic *sparōn (to spare, save) (compare Old High German sparōn, German sparen), from Proto-Germanic *sparōną. The development of the -m- in the Late Latin form (instead of the expected -n- or -r-) is traditionally attributed to the influence of Frankish *waidanjan (to earn, gain) (which also yielded guadagnare). Cognate with French épargner, Occitan esparnhar, and English spare. Related to sparagnare.
