Guacos

/ɡwɑːˈkoʊz/ noun

Definition

The plural form of guaco, referring to multiple guaco plants or doses of guaco remedy in traditional medicine.

Etymology

Spanish plural form of 'guaco,' simply adding the standard Spanish plural ending '-s' to the indigenous-derived singular noun.

Kelly Says

Even in plural form, 'guacos' keeps its Spanish character because English speakers borrowed it from Spanish naturalists and healers—we don't usually say 'guacoes' because that would be mixing languages awkwardly.
