Korso
German
Etymology
From Italian corso in the archaic sense of “horse race” (for which now corsa), since such celebrations were originally (and still sometimes are) performed with coaches.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈkɔʁzo/
Noun
Korso m or n (genitive Korsos, plural Korsos)
- (chiefly in compounds) a public celebration with vehicles driving in a row; on any occasion, but commonest with weddings and football victories
Usage notes
- A Korso is distinct from an Umzug (“parade”) in that its organisation is usually private and often spontaneous. In some cases, however, the two words may overlap.
