0 - il Folletto: Il tipico folletto è stravagante e spensierato, fa spesso scherzi o azioni incomprensibili ed è
completamente distaccato dalle preoccupazioni materiali.
significato: stranezza, infantilismo, spensieratezza, vacanza, distacco dalle preoccupazioni materiali, follia
I can only guess at Italian, but il folletto seems to be prone to folly.
And here's what I got (nothing) from Merriam-Webster:

Beguines and Beghards, members of certain Roman Catholic religious communities for women (Beguines) and men (Beghards) prominent in northwestern Europe from the 12th to the 14th century. They differed from monks and nuns in that most did not take permanent vows, promising only to do good works and not to marry as long as they lived in the community.
