Abstract
Abstract The types It. uscieri / Fr. huissier and Venet. schierazo are both derived from Ar. ‛ušɛ̄rī ‘cargo shipʼ. The term arrived in medieval times with the Crusaders in France and in the wake of the Arab conquests in Sicily and was adopted by the Genoese and Venetians in the course of their commercial activities. The second phase of its European history took place in the late 15th and 16th centuries, when the derivative schierazo appeared in Venetian contexts.
