Word: Sicilianism Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Sicilian + -ism. 1. The ensemble of customs, mentality and attitudes traditionally attributed to Sicilians. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Leonardo Sciascia, for example, views the motif of the dissolution of individual identity as an aspect of Pirandello's Sicilianism rather than as a reflection of the vaster Western crisis of identity. Example: 2 Isle-solitude, island and solitude, is a much wider concept than Sicilianism, a subjective condition resulting from the Sicilian mental condition. The Sciascian island and the ‘isle-solitude’ that follows from it, considered both with its good and bad connotations (as a port and a refuge), in Sciascia becomes an ideology. See Sciascia, ‘Sicilia e siciltudine’^([sic – meaning sicilitudine]) (Sicily and Sicilianism), La corda pazza (The Crazy Rope), in Opere 1956–1971, pp. 961-8 (p. 963). 2. A word or phrase identified as being Sicilian (language or Italian dialect), as written in Sicily or by a Sicilian, or as expressive of Sicilian mentality or attitudes. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: 1900, J. Rendel Harris, Further Researches into the History of the Ferrar-Group, C. J. Clay and Sons, Cambridge University Press, page 76, In proving or testing for Sicilianism or Ferrarism amongst the MSS. tabulated above, we must be to a large extent dependent upon fresh examinations and further collations. It is, however, interesting to note that in the case of some of the MSS. referred to, including the less accessible of them, the Ferrarism, or the Sicilianism, can be clearly made out. Example: 1994, Frede Jensen (editor and translator), Tuscan Poetry of the Duecento: An Anthology, footnote, page 308, 12. dia: is Provençal or a Sicilianism: ogni dia (Notaio, v. 6: Cont I 61) 'every day'. 3. Sicilian nationalism; a political movement within Sicily, and to some extent in the Sicilian diaspora, which seeks greater autonomy or even full independence for Sicily from Italy and promotes Sicilian identity in terms of culture, history and language; also used historically. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: 2009 [Pearson Education Ltd], Martin Clark, The Italian Risorgimento, 2nd Edition, 2013, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), page 23, ‘Sicilianism’ was conservative and aristocratic, but it was a real separatist threat to the weak and remote Bourbon government in Naples. Example: The exception was western Sicily where the ‘Sicilianism’, the desire for a Sicilian statehood, more or less independent, had never subsided.

Word: Pootoo Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Chinese 普陀 (Pǔtuó). 1. Synonym of Mount Putuo (An island and mountain in Putuo district, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China). Labels: obsolete Example: Pootoo.—The most lovely spot in Far Cathay is the sacred isle of Pootoo, two hundred miles from Shanghai, and sixty from Ningpo, from which latter city, in another direction overland, is reached the far-famed Snowy Valley. The route to Pootoo is among hundreds of islands, great and small, all mountainous, which compose the Chusan archipelago, and as the steamer winds its tortuous way among them, every variety of wild scenery is presented; now the precipitous rocks and projecting headlands, the barren knolls and rugged crags; then the mountains covered with trees, and hills beautifully terraced to the top with waving fields of grain; or villages nestling in little bays, or encircled in foliage, lying on the water's edge; indeed in its approaching views and receding vistas it is a twin-sister of the inland Sea of Japan. Pootoo is the capital of Indo-Chinese Buddhism, and its renown is as far- famed as the Chinese language is spoken or Chinese literature known. Example: Some people in Amoy still persist in sailing about five hundred miles on old sailing junks to the Pootoo Islands off the coast of Ningpo every spring.
Word: Mount Putuo Part of Speech: name Etymology: Partial calque of Mandarin 普陀山 (Pǔtuó Shān). 1. An island of Putuo district, Zhoushan, Zhejiang, China. Example: Mount Wutai is really a cluster of five huge summits ranging in altitude up to 10,000 feet that is breached only by a few dirt roads twisting over the windswept passes of northern Shanxi. It is the most revered of the four mountains sacred to Chinese Buddhists, more than Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang or Mount Jihua in Anhui. Example: Hong Kong’s Greater Bay Airlines has launched flights to Zhoushan, a mainland Chinese city known for its Buddhist pilgrimage site of Mount Putuo, adding a new route that will soon be followed by three others, even as it recently cut a flight to Haikou that began in late July.
