Usage Note
Eccome is an emphatic exclamation meaning 'absolutely', 'certainly', or 'you bet'. It is a fusion of ecco + come and used exclusively as a standalone intensifier, never mid-sentence. For example, if asked 'Do you like pizza?' you can reply Eccome! — the equivalent of 'Do I ever!' It is informal and expressive.
Examples
