Etymology
The word "spesso" comes from Latin "spissus," which originally meant dense or thick. Over time, its meaning evolved in Italian to signify frequency or occurrence happening many times, perhaps metaphorically relating to something happening 'thickly' or 'frequently.' Did you know that the original sense was more about physical density than repetition?
