Botella

/boʊˈtɛlə/ noun

Definition

A Spanish word for bottle; in English contexts, sometimes used to refer to a bottle or a Spanish wine bottle.

Etymology

From Spanish 'botella', which comes from Old French 'bouteille' (bottle), itself from Latin 'butticula' (small cask). This is the same root that gave English 'bottle' through French.

Kelly Says

The words 'botella' (Spanish), 'bottle' (English), and 'bouteille' (French) all come from the same Latin root, showing how closely related the Romance languages are and how wine vocabulary was so important that the word spread with the trade.
