Maybe the same root as the Italian 'ammazza!' ? Which literally means 'kill', but it's not a violent expression.

- Pompidou 6y agoI can find one etyomoly for "mazette" used as a noun, but it doesn't fit very well to the use of the interjection. Maybe it's linked the same root as "maze" and old english "amazian" (to confuse/perplex).
