Definition

Plural of curacoa; multiple servings or types of the liqueur or references to the island of Curaçao.

Etymology

Regular English plural of the alternative spelling curacoa. This variant plural reflects historical English orthography before standardized spelling conventions solidified.

Kelly Says

These spelling variants show English in transition—by the 1800s, curaçao became standard, but older books use curacoa. Tracking these variants is like archaeological layers revealing when different printing standards dominated.
