This is one of those wonderful words that sounds Italian but is really English.

The New Shorter Oxford gives the etymology as brag or braggart combined with the Italian augmenting suffix "-occio". First(?) used by Spenser as a proper name in Færie Queene (1590).

It also makes the perfect name for this font.

Now consider flautist…
