Charlatan
editI've removed this, which had already been commented out :
<!--VERIFY THIS.... The adjective ''cerretano'' means "citizen of Cerreto di Spoleto," which is where English gets the word ''charlatan.''-->
My OED gives the etymology as ciarlatano - "babble" which sounds plausible. If anyone has a WP:RS for a link to Cerreto, let's have it. FlagSteward (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
