• Намарафетиться (perf.)
[na-ma-ra-fe-ti-tsa]
Or
• Навести марафет
[na-ves-ti ma-ra-fet]
SLT: To make 'marafet'
🔻In the thieves' jargon of the early 20th century this phrase meant ‘by deceiving, to convince someone of one’s innocence’, as a result of which the word “марафет” acquired two meanings - 'order, beauty' as the desired result of 'making a marafet' and 'cocaine' for bringing the deceived state closer to drug intoxication.
🔻Nowadays 'навести марафет' means to make yourself look attractive, to give yourself an attractive look by tidying up your face, hair, using cosmetics (usually about women).
