Description:

The term 'Tuszisse' refers to the German language. It is derived from 'Tus', the root that Common settled on as the root for 'German' (this usage goes back to the early period and has an obscure origin - perhaps as an attempt to Common-ise the pronunciation of 'Deutsch', but if so, it's an odd outcome) and the language suffix -zisse.
