"carusu" meaning in Sicilian

See carusu in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kaˈɾusʊ/ Forms: carusi [plural]
Etymology: Disputed. Some have sustained a not well explained derivation from Ancient Greek κόρος (kóros, “boy”). More likely it derives from a vulgar readjectivized use of Latin cārus (“dear, beloved; expensive”), from caru (“dear, beloved”) + -usu (-ose, -ous), then substantivized. If this latter is right, compare Irish cara and English whore for similar developments.
