- argosy




- argosy: [16] On the face of it argosy, an archaic term for ‘large merchant ship’, gives every appearance of being connected with the Argonauts, members of the crew of the ship Argo who sailed with Jason in quest of the Golden Fleece; but in fact the words are completely unrelated. When English first acquired argosy, from Italian, it was ragusea, which meant literally ‘vessel from Ragusa’ (an important city and seaport on the Dalmatian coast, now known as Dubrovnik). From the hotchpotch of spellings used in English in the 16th and 17th centuries (including ragusye, rhaguse, argosea, and arguze), argosy finally emerged as victor.
