papà

quote-web

2017 May 5, Accademia della Crusca:
In almost all Italian dictionaries, the second word (after mamma) pronounced by the majority of Italian speakers, that is, papà, is classified as a Frenchism, that is, a tracing of the French papa. It is instead a term of central-northern Italian origin, which from the dialects of the North has passed into the national language, as has also happened to some other words of the daily and family lexicon.

→ Romanian: bravo

→ Turkish: bravo

Uncertain. Probably from Vulgar Latin *bravus, from a fusion of Latin prāvus and barbarus. Less likely from Provençal brau (“show-off”), from Gaulish *bragos (compare Middle Irish breagha (modern breá) 'fine', Breton braga 'to strut'). Or perhaps borrowed from a descendant of Proto-Germanic *hrawaz (“raw, uncooked”). Or possibly from a root *bravus, from bravium. Borrowed into French and English as brave.
Pierre Carpentier, in an 18th-century edition of du Cange's 17th-century dictionary of medieval and modern Latin, argued Latin branus originated in a misreading of Italian and Spanish bravo. However, George Nicholson argues the opposite in a 1950 Festschrift article, namely bravo being a misreading of Latin branus, which would have the origin du Cange had originally argued for, from Old French brahaigne (“barren”) (see barren). Compare English gravy, possibly a misreading of French grané (“stew”).

becco

Uncertain. Probably from either Proto-Germanic *bukkaz, *bukkô (“male goat”) or Proto-Celtic *bukkos, whence French bouc. The -e- is most readily explained through the Middle High German plural böcke (early on also unrounded; compare contemporary Bavarian Beck). Alternatively from Latin ībex, though this is more problematic. Compare also northern French bique.
