Etymology
Of unknown origin.
Traditionally seen as a borrowing from Punic. Perhaps akin to Akkadian 𒉔𒄩 (NINDA2×DILKU6 /zingurru, singurru/, “sp. of fish”), 𒍣𒅔𒄥𒊒 (zi-in-gur-ru /zingurru/).[1][2] Compare also Classical Syriac ܙܓܪܐ (zāgrā, “large fish”),[3] and Arabic زَجَر (zajar, “kind of large fish”).
Alternatively, a derivative of tzégu (“blind”), in the same way as Italian ceca (“young eel”, dialectal) comes from Latin caeca (“ blind ”).[1]
