形容詞

gypseian (comparative more gypseian, superlative most gypseian)

1. (obsolete, まれに) Of or relating to gypsies.
   • 1749, Henry Fielding, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

     There was somewhat in the open countenance and courteous behaviour of Jones which, being accompanied with much comeliness of person, greatly recommended him at first sight to every beholder. These were, perhaps, a little heightened in the present instance, by that profound respect which he paid to the king of the gypsies, the moment he was acquainted with his dignity, and which was the sweeter to his gypseian majesty, as he was not used to receive such homage from any but his own subjects.
