A freshwater fish found in South American rivers, or a brand name historically used for soap.
Possibly from Tupi or other South American indigenous language, named for the fish found in Amazon and other river systems. The soap brand adopted the native word.
A humble word naming both a river fish and a soap brand shows how indigenous knowledge of nature gets borrowed, commercialized, and sometimes forgotten—the soap is gone but the fish still swims!
