A type of palm tree native to South America, similar to the caranda but a distinct species.
From Spanish carandai or carandaya, derived from Guaraní or other Tupi-Guarani languages, referring to Copernicia prunifera or related palm species.
The caranday is so tough it was used to make weapons and tools—this hardy palm literally shaped the material culture of indigenous warriors!
