It is a term that refers to a type of automobile that has four wheels, a convertible top, and is usually either two-door or four-door. This modern word comes from the name Mazda. It was first used in 1989. Other meanings are "a type of red wine" and "a company founded by Walter Anderson Miele in 1909 with its headquarters in Hiroshima, Japan". It is also the name of a brand of the vacuum cleaner. Some types of beer and wine use the word "Mazza" in their titles. Additionally, in Italian and other Romance languages, it means a mathematical equation that has a variable to represent the area of each side of a triangle (a "nice blade"). This can be traced back to the shape of wine barrels. In European martial arts, this term is used as meaning "[a] specific combination [of defensive maneuvers]". The word is also used to describe "a type of woman who, by Japanese standards, has an ideal shape and proportion". In the Philippines, it can be used as a term for "a kind of mosquito that transmits dengue fever". In Chinese and other Asian languages, it can mean "the excess amount taken from a specific portion of an object". Finally, in Canada, when referring to family members by their relation to you (e.g. aunt, b-i-l), it is used as a term of affection.
