Guacharos

/ɡwɑːtʃəˈroʊz/ noun

Definition

An alternative plural form of guacharo, referring to multiple large nocturnal birds that inhabit South American caves and use echolocation.

Etymology

Variant Spanish plural ending of 'guácharo,' possibly showing linguistic variation between Spanish-speaking regions or an Anglicized version following the pattern of English pluralization.

Kelly Says

The existence of two plural forms for the same word shows how languages don't follow their own rules perfectly—sometimes we see 'guacharoes' and 'guacharos,' both trying to blend Spanish and English grammar together.
