Cuzceno

/kuːzˈseɪnoʊ/ adjective

Definition

Relating to Cusco (also spelled Cuzco), the historic Incan city in Peru, or someone or something from that region.

Etymology

From Spanish 'Cuzco' (itself from Quechua 'Qosqo'), plus the Spanish suffix '-eno' meaning 'of or from,' to create a demonym or regional adjective.

Kelly Says

Cusco sits at 11,000 feet and was the capital of the Inca Empire—the Incas built it on an earthquake-prone site using stones so precisely fitted they needed no mortar.
