CC is "Copia conoscenza" in Italian, literally "Copy for knowledge"
You send out a copy to give somebody notice of the original letter
you received.
CCn ("Copia conoscenza nascosta", "Hidden copy for knowledge")
is our bCC
I guess if the term comes from latin like P.S. ("Post Scriptum")
or whatever.
