Etymology
Ultimately a reborrowing from Ancient Greek ἀφύη (aphúē, “small fish”). The immediate source is Venetan anciuga, from Ligurian anciôa, from a Vulgar Latin development of Classical Latin aphyē, from Ancient Greek ἀφύη (aphúē). The ending -ια (-ia) is from the pronunciation of plural αντζούγες (antzoúges) /anˈdzuʝes/, from singular αντζούγα (antzoúga).[1][2].
