botillo

Spanish

Etymology

Borrowed from Asturian botiellu, from Latin botellus. For the unexpected retention of Latin /-t-/, Coromines & Pascual propose influence from botija (“vessel”) and other such words.[1] Cognate with Asturian botiellu, Galician botelo and Portuguese butelo.

a piece of botillo
