racon

racon, dilimize italyanca'dan "ragione"den gelmiş. dolayısıyla geldiği zamanlarda "akıl yürütme" veya "ortak akıl"ı kastettiğini düşünebiliriz.

zamanla tdk'nin verdiği anlamı olan "yol, yordam" anlamında kullanılır olmuş. mario puzzo'nun the godfather kitabından alıntılayacağım satırlar italyanların ne anlamda bu kelimeyi kullandığını iyi bir şekilde açıklıyor.


"hagen [the don's lawyer - the don was also his only client] had learned the art of negotiation from the don himself. 'never get angry,' the don had instructed. 'never make a threat. reason with people.' the word 'reason' sounded so much better in ıtalian, ragione, to rejoin. the art of this was to ignore all insults, all threats; to turn the other cheek. hagen had seen the don sit at a negotiating table for eight hours, swallowing insults, trying to persuade a notorious and megalomaniac strong-arm man to mend his ways. at the end of the eight hours don corleone had thrown up his hands in a helpless gesture and said to the other men at the table, 'but no one can reason with this fellow,' and had stalked out of the meeting room."
