Question 134

I have been extremely uninspired the past week and also have my exams coming up , so sorry
Anyway here goes:


There are several theories about the origin of the term . It may have been derived from the slang Arabic  meaning "aggressive boasting, bragging", or  meaning "rejected". Roughly translated, it means "swagger," but can also be translated as "boldness, bravado". In reference to a man,  in 19th century when using it to a male it meant  ambiguous, signifying a bully, arrogant but also fearless, enterprising, and proud . In reference to a woman, however, the feminine-form adjective  meant  beautiful and attractive.
Name this term 




Answer : Mafia..
