In Italian language there are two words, alitta and alipta, derived from the same latin etymon ALIPTA, shaped on gr. aleipho 'who anoint'; however, the two terms have different categories and meanings: alitta (f.) 'mixture of aromatic substances' and alipta (m.) 'who anoint'. The story of 'alipta' is traced from ancient Greece until contemporary age - through the middle ages - to clarify the passages that have determined the independent origin of the two terms in the Italian language.

Abstract

In Italian language there are two words, alitta and alipta, derived from the same latin etymon ALIPTA, shaped on gr. aleipho 'who anoint'; however, the two terms have different categories and meanings: alitta (f.) 'mixture of aromatic substances' and alipta (m.) 'who anoint'. The story of 'alipta' is traced from ancient Greece until contemporary age - through the middle ages - to clarify the passages that have determined the independent origin of the two terms in the Italian language.
