Ladino[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Latin sūcidus (juicy; oily, greasy), from sūcus (juice, sap) whence English succinite (Baltic amber). Compare Spanish sucio.

Adjective[edit]

suzio (Latin spelling)

  1. dirty

Old Spanish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Latin sūcidus (juicy; oily, greasy), from sūcus (juice, sap). According to Corominas and Pascual (vol. Ri-X 1983:324), it is always attested with -z- until the end of the 15th century; a derivation via a Latin variant succidus (as reported in some sources such as DRAE 23rd ed.[1]) is therefore spurious.[2]

Pronunciation[edit]

Adjective[edit]

suzio m (feminine suzia, masculine plural suzios, feminine plural suzias)

    • between 1140-1207, Anonymous, Cantar de mío Cid 2291:

      His mantle and bliaut were all dirty when he took them out
      (literally, “The mantle and the bliaut, he took it all out dirty”)
