the doomed coughing courtesan who out-sings her own death scene every single night.
means A feminine given name, the Italian diminutive of "viola" (violet), borne most famously by the tragic heroine of Verdi's opera La Traviata.
from From Italian "violetta," the affectionate little sister of "viola," the flower-name handed down from Latin "viola," the violet. That Latin word is likely a cousin of the Greek "ion," the same bloom by another tongue. The name's operatic fame comes from Verdi's La Traviata, a mid-19th-century work whose heroine Violetta Valéry was modeled on the courtesan at the center of Dumas fils' La Dame aux camélias — a flower-named woman to the very end.
