Etymology: "Zingare" is the plural of "zingara," the Italian word for a Romani woman, which is itself the feminine form of "zingaro," a Romani man. The Italian forms stem from the medieval Greek term "atsinganos," used for a member of the Romani people, and the word spread through Italian and other European languages as a name for the group. This verb sense, meaning to wander about without purpose, is therefore a separate lexical item, and the source here only identifies the word as the plural of "zingara," so its connection to the verb cannot be traced further from the information available.
