Meaning & usage
fuss, racket
faire du ramdam
Where this word comes from
Eventually probably from Arabic رَمَضان (ramaḍān). However, it does not seem entirely certain that it was borrowed by French colonial soldiers from Maghrebi Arabic, as some sources say. Instead compare Italian Rabadan (“carnival in Bellinzona, Switzerland”), which connects the two meanings or even Italian ambaradan. Further also German Remmidemmi (“fuss, racket”), though the latter is attested late and could be influenced by the French. In regards to the general semantic evolution from "holy month" to "noisy meeting" compare also with brouhaha, sabbat.
