A very small stream or streamlet; a diminutive form referring to a tiny creek or water channel.
From Spanish 'arroyuelo,' a diminutive form of 'arroyo' created by adding the Spanish diminutive suffix '-uela,' meaning 'little arroya.'
Spanish has this beautiful system of diminutives where -uela makes things sound tiny and cute—arroyuelo is what you'd call a babbling brook compared to the dramatic arroyos that flood during storms!
