basso

From Late Latin bassus, possibly of Ancient Greek origin.


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.

(figurative, derogatory, vulgar) cuckold


cappella

desc

→ Friulian: capele (or directly from Latin)

desctree

→ German: Kapelle (“band”)
→ English: capelle, kapelle

bravo

head

bravo m (feminine brava, masculine plural bravi, feminine plural brave)

brava (feminine)
bravi (masculine plural)
brave (feminine plural)

→ English: bravo

→ French: bravo

→ 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”).

Il segreto di un buon panettone è dunque nella lievitazione, rigorosamente naturale (niente lieviti chimici) e nel doppio impasto.
