mafia
As an answer to everything I read about this word on this site I would like just to specificy the definition of this term: although it is not totally sure it is written on some books talking about this subject that the word mafia derives from the adjective MAFIUSA,MAFIUSEDDA, referring to a girl whose beauty is impertinent and ebollious.During the period before this word changed its meaning, it gave an idea of a girl with no shame of showing her beauty,sort of childish,juvenile disrispect to the others only because of this beauty.The word was used by adults to refer to a little girl as a sort of compliment, as well as we would refer now to a child like that one in the movie "Problem Child" to show we take a liking to him.Or it was used to refer to a teen girl by other men to express by this way a polite opinion about her remarkable beauty.From this term the word mafia derives,as beauty, or something beautiful that shows itself the same way this hypothetic girl does.
Did you see that girl ? She grew up so well.She became such a MAFIUSEDDA !
Or, referring to a little girl : who's this MAFIUSEDDA ?! (with the usual idiot smile on the face we always have when we wanna say something nice to a kid!)
From here the word MAFIA = BEAUTY
