Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗A port city and comune, the capital of the Metropolitan City of Genoa and the region of Liguria, Italy. · A metropolitan city of Liguria, established in 2015; in full, the Metropolitan City of Genoa. · A former province of Liguria. · A town in the Shire of East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.
Genoa cake.
Borrowed from Latin Genua (with influence from Italian Genova), as the city was known by the ancient Ligurians. Probably from the Ancient Ligurian word for “knee”, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵénw-eh₂ (“knee”), a thematic derivative of Proto-Indo-European *ǵónu; in this sense “angle”, from its geographical position, thus akin to Geneva.
