Sicilian
Etymology
Ultimately from of Latin sufflāre, from present active infinitive of sufflō (“blow, puff up, inflate”).
The initial palatalization could derive from the dissimulation of the aforementioned verb, determining a reduplication of the original fl- nexus, instead of the s-.
Alternatively the phonetic change could derive from an intermediate vulgar form *flufflare, frequentative of sufflare. Doublet of susciari.
