Definition
Plural of abrazo; multiple embraces or hugs, particularly warm greetings in Spanish-speaking cultures.
Etymology
Spanish plural of 'abrazo,' formed by adding '-s,' used in English when discussing multiple embraces or social customs in Hispanic communities.
Kelly Says
When English speakers say 'abrazos' instead of 'hugs,' they're signaling respect for Spanish-speaking culture and acknowledging that not all greetings are the same across the world—language itself becomes a form of cultural awareness.
