fortin: It must be an error per fort ("small fort, advanced").
picailla: It seems to be a mistake because of the vulgarism picaílla, for "picadilla" in the sense of "small stitch", "pulla".
enmallaico: It looks like a diminutive of enmelado ("entangled, caught in a net") using the suffix -ico, and misspelled because at least the tilde over the /i/ is missing. Although it can be worse and come from fainting.
gamez: This version is not from Spanish but the one used in languages that do not have graphic accents such as to write Gámez, which is probably an adaptation of the more common one in Portuguese da Gama. I can also find it written like this on the web, where written accents are usually omitted.
alturaismo: I don't care about all the publications that write it like this: leagues away you can see that it lacks an accent on the vowel /i/. But skipping that detail and using the same etymology of height ("stature")-ism would look better "alturismo" (although it can be confused with something related to "tourism") or also "altorismo" (although it can be confused with something related to bullfighting 128558; ) .
anfractuosa: Feminine of anfractuous .
subhúmeda: Female of subhumid .
advenediza: Feminine of upstart ("who arrives or is in a place that is not his own").
disléxica: Feminine of dyslexic ("suffering from dyslexia").
sicoafectiva: Feminine of psychoaffective ("graphic variant of psychoaffective").
chochifalta: It is the feminine of chochifalto ("foolish, lacking intelligence").
cancona: Feminine of cancón ("wide-hipped"), although this chilenismo is always applied to a woman. See cancos .
chorva: Feminine of chorvo ("an uncle", "so-and-so", "boyfriend"). See chorbo .
muérdago: It is a parasitic plant of which there are about 150 species, such as the white mistletoe (Viscum album) or the Creole mistletoe (Ligaria cuneifolia).
peral: Common name for the Pyrus plant, which corresponds to several fruit trees of the family Rosaceae. See pear (fruit).
chambul: It is one of the common names of the plant Erythrina fusca. It was a commando group of the Tatar army (especially the Crimean hordes) that during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries crossed the enemy line to disorganize their troops and capture European nobles as slaves (jasyr) or ask for money for their ransom.
peniseto: Plant of the genus Pennisetum . The name comes from the Latin penna, ae ("feather") mushroom, ae ("bristle, clump of hairs") in allusion to its inflorescence.
antera: In vegetables, it is the part of the flower where pollen is found, inside small sacs in the stamens. From the Greek 945; 957; 952; 951; 961; 945; ( antherá "of the flower" ) .
ononis spinosa: It is the scientific name of a plant mentioned in gateña, gurumaca, balomága, abreojo. The name ononis was taken by Carl Linnaeus from a generic description made by Pliny the Elder for other plants, surely alluding to the "donkey's hoof" by the Greek 959; 957; 959; 962; (onos "ass") with 959; 957; 965; 958; (onyx "nail"), and spinosa ("thorny") is a Latin word.
banana: 1º_ It is the fruit (or pod) of various plants Musa paradisiaca L . , which among other names is also known as plantain, although where both names are used is because a difference is made between the one that is sweet and eaten raw and the one that is cooked before eating it. The plant has been modified so that its fruit is seedless, making it impossible for it to reproduce on its own. The name seems to be of Arabic origin, although it is more likely that it came to Spanish through Portuguese; and it would be a simplification of 1576; 1606; 1575; 1606; 1577; 1575; 1604; 1605; 1608; 1586; ( banaanat al mawz "banana finger" ) , since the pineapple or bunch of bananas is usually called "hand", and the elongated pods would be the "fingers". 2º_ This word has taken on various meanings depending on the context, in lunfardo it was an adjective for someone who was winning, worldly, always fashionable, but taking into account the majorities who tried to be a banana and only managed to be ridiculous the term practically remained for them, and today it is more of an insult. The origin could be as a milder version of poronga ("the most respected"), as the banana is also compared to the penis. BANANA is an acronym for Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything, which is used to identify groups that oppose any kind of change or development that modifies the existing environment to which they are accustomed.
