köken: Derived from dije (“I said”), an inflection of the verb decir. The intermediate senses appear to have been 'tall tale, gossip' → 'trifle, thingy' → 'trinket'. Cf. the noun chisme, which has all of these senses.
köken: Borrowed from French talisman, partly from Arabic طِلَسْم (ṭilasm), from Ancient Greek τέλεσμα (télesma, “payment”); and partly directly from Byzantine Greek τέλεσμα (télesma, “talisman, religious rite, completion”), from τελέω (teléō, “to perform religious rites, to complete”), from τέλος (télos, “end, fulfillment, accomplishment, consummation, completion”).
köken: Borrowed from Latin amulētum (“amulet”), later also an internationalism chiefly via German Amulett (“amulet”) and French amulette (“amulet”) (see also English amulet).
