Best Answer

"Best friend" is an English equivalent of the Italian-American word gumba. The word originates in the Sicilian pronunciation of the peninsular Italian word compare("godfather"). The pronunciation will be "GOOM-ba" or "goom-BA" -- depending upon the speaker's birthplace -- in slang Italian and "kom-PA-rey" in peninsular Italian.
