The entire section is dubious and probably wrong.

"The etymological approach is criticised by some historians.

This bit does not seem to make much sense. The second sense seems to confirm the etymological approach, not criticize it.
This article is currently a disaster. It is full of unconnected claims without any context, based on newspaper articles with little to no scientific backing. I have already removed some claims that are not supported by reliable sources or are blatantly incorrect. It has a very high level of [[WP:NOR]]. Actually, the whole article needs to be revised and restructured. That is why I have tagged it with multiple issues. - [[User:DonCalo|DonCalo]] ([[User talk:DonCalo|talk]]) 00:10, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

John Dickie argues that "the flattering connotations of the word 'Ndrangheta (courage, martial prowess, manliness) indicate that the 'Ndrangheta as a social phenomenon was rooted in the same positive values, and that it only later degenerated into criminality."
