ORIGIN OF Brazuca
This word has no etymology, since it was created to pay homage to Brazil. It should be noted that in countries such as Argentina and Uruguay it has been used to refer in a derogatory way to Brazilians. On the other hand, this word is also used as a nickname to denote Brazilians outside the country, including soccer players.
Brazilians themselves use it internally to refer affectionately to themselves and to change the derogatory meaning that other countries give it.
It should be noted that the term is used in a context of soccer fans and with the South American rivalry that Brazil represents, then the fans use this word to make fun of the Brazilians.
