--- Etymology (Derived from) ---

Donnie Brasco (Movie - 1997) | From American-Italian slang Fugazi (“fake”); perhaps also slang version of fugacious derived from Latin fugac-, stem of fugāx (“ready to flee, flying”), hence, fleeting, transitory. (slang) Artificial, fake, false. Can be in reference to a thing or person. If a person it is usually in reference to a shady or superficial person. Also, something that has very little substance or intrinsic value.
