Cosa Nostra - Meaning "Our Thing". Cosa Nostra or as refered to by the FBI (La Cosa Nostra - This is the wrong term as La means the in Italian and It's not "The Our Thing".) Cosa Nostra originates from "La Stessa Cosa". The Mafioso from the 1900's. La Stessa Cosa, was a very sacred society and no one knew much about it apart from those in the Mafia. After the 1900's La Stessa Cosa was reformed and known as Cosa Nostra. For a short period of time Cosa Nostra was still sacred, but today it isn't secretive anymore.
