A large or old almond tree, or timber from such a tree; an augmentative form suggesting size or age.
Spanish augmentative form of 'almendro,' using the '-ón' suffix which indicates something large or impressive. This shows how Spanish builds complexity through suffixes rather than separate words.
The -ón suffix appears throughout Spanish (corazón 'big-heart,' ratón 'big-rat') and reveals how language encodes value judgments—the biggest, oldest trees earned their own special name, suggesting reverence for ancient botanical giants.
