Bambola is an Italian word meaning "doll." The term is commonly used to refer to a child's toy that represents a human figure, often a female one. The word derives from the Latin bambulus, which referred to a child or small person. Figuratively, bambola can sometimes be used to describe a woman seen as attractive but lacking in substance or agency, implying she is merely decorative and easily controlled. However, this usage can be considered derogatory and sexist.
