'+Description+': The current official term for the Salesian Cooperators Association in Italian is ''Associazione Salesiani Cooperatori'', though it bore the title ''Associazione Cooperatori Salesiani'' for most of its existence. At one time the word ''pia'' (pious) was included, believing this was DB's term - it was, but only to distinguish it from certain Masonic sects and usually only viva voce. In fact Don Bosco initially adopted the term ''Associazione salesiana'' hoping to include its members as external members of his fledgling Society. The term is usually shortened in English to 'Salesian Cooperators' or just 'Cooperators', and similarly in Italian. In Italian the group is abbreviated in the plural with SS.CC, while in English the abbreviation is SC in both singular and plural.

'+Context (examples of use)+':

'+Other notes+': Between 1873 and 1876 Don Bosco produced a number of statements of purpose for the Association, calling it different names: Associates to the Congregation of St Francis of Sales (''Associati alla Congregazione di San Francesco di Sales'' ca. 1873), Christian Union (''Unione cristiana'' 1874), Association for Charitable Work (''Associazione di opere buone'' 1875), Salesian Cooperators, or Practical Way of Advancing the Moral and Civil Good of Society (''Cooperatori salesiani ossia un modo pratico per giovare al buon costume ed alla civile società'' 1876. The relatively recent choice, officially recognised by the Holy See, of the term ''Salesiani Cooperatori'' raises an issue that touches on other languages as well. The choice was made in Itaalian to emphasise the fact that the Cooperator was first of all 'Salesian', then 'Cooperator. Hence ''Cooperatori'' would be a noun in apposition rather than a simple adjective. If we needed to emphasise this in English, we might need to write 'Salesian, Cooperator', but common practice will win the day! The term almost certainly will continue to be 'Salesian Cooperator', leaving the matter ambiguous. Above, for the purpose of simplicity, it has been designated as a Noun phrase.

'Giovane Provveduto' is a short form). A loan term is not translated whereas a calque is. A blend is where two (or more) morphemes or 'word' parts have been combined to form a single term, as in the case of 'austraLasia'. Choose variant when there exists at least one other common form of the term. ] (:zapend:)
