Definition: Cicerone |
CiceroneNoun1. A guide who conducts and informs sightseers. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |
Date "cicerone" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1832. (references) |
Etymology: Cicerone \Ci`ce*ro"ne\, noun; plural Italian Ciceroni, English Cicerones. [Italian expression, from the Latin expression Cicero, the Roman orator. So called from the ordinary talkativeness of such guide.]. (Websters 1913) |
| Domain | Definitions |
Literature | Cicerone (4 syl.). A guide to point out objects of interest to strangers. So called in the same way as Paul was called by the men of Lystra "Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker" (Acts xiv. 12). Cicero was the speaker of speakers at Rome; and certainly, in a party of sight-seers, the guide is "the chief speaker." It is no compliment to the great orator to call the glib patterer of a show-place a Cicero; but we must not throw stones at our Italian neighbours, as we have conferred similar honour on our great epic poet in changing "Grub Street" into "Milton Street." Pronounce chick-e-reny. "Every glib and loquacious hireling who shows strangers about their pleasure-galleries, palaces, and ruins is called [in Italy] a cicerone or a Cicero."- Trench: On the Study of Words, lecture iii. p. 88. In England, generally called "a guide." Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
